Unquestionably one of England\u2019s very finest silversmiths, Paul Storr\u2019s reputation for wonderful Regency period silver work is second to none.<\/h3>\n

Early life \u2013 building a unique reputation.<\/b><\/h3>\n

Paul Storr was born in Westminster in 1771 and in 1785 at the age of only 14 he was apprenticed to the Swedish born silversmith Andrew Fogleberg of Church Street, Soho. \u00a0Fogleberg worked in a highly ornate neo-classical style which greatly influenced his young prot\u00e9g\u00e9.<\/p>\n

Paul Storr\u2019s own silver hallmark was entered in 1792 while he was working with William Frisbee.<\/p>\n

Storr then began to work on his own and started to gain recognition and patronage, establishing his reputation especially after having work commissioned by King George 111. \u00a0At this time he was also commissioned by the Duke of Portland to create a gold font and in 1799 he created the very famous Battle of the Nile cup for Lord Nelson which is now on display at the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich.<\/p>\n

Storr\u2019s workmanship, creativity and reputation really became established when he began working for Royal silversmiths Rundell, Bridge and Rundell in 1806. \u00a0Storr had been pursued by Phillip Rundell, who recognised his exceptional talent, for three years before he finally agreed to join this highly prestigious firm.<\/p>\n

Later career \u2013 a recognised master.<\/b><\/h3>\n

Working for Rundell, Bridge and Rundell, Paul Storr created many memorable silver pieces often working to the firm\u2019s own designs. \u00a0The commissions he worked on ranged from the highly ornate to quite simple items such as dining plates and cutlery.<\/p>\n

After thirteen years with Rundell, Bridge and Rundell Storr again decided to set up business on his own so that we could have more artistic freedom and he opened his own shop in 1819 concentrating on simpler more naturalistic pieces which retained his hallmark high quality finish.<\/p>\n

Seeking to expand into a more prestigious location he went in to partnership with John Mortimer opening the Storr & Mortimer shop together in London\u2019s Bond Street in 1822. \u00a0\u00a0However this venture was marred by Mortimer\u2019s poor sense of business management and the business closed in 1839 with Storr finally retiring at the age of 68, moving to Tooting with his wife Elizabeth where he died five years later.<\/p>\n

Legacy \u2013 Paul Storr silver.<\/b><\/p>\n

Paul Storr\u2019s legacy can be seen in wide variety of truly remarkable silver ware all of which reflects his unsurpassed craftsmanship and attention to detail. \u00a0Interesting examples of his work include the massive and highly ornate urn created for Woburn Abbey in 1800; the Theocritus Cup in the Royal Collection; Lord Spencer\u2019s ice pails of 1827; the beautiful Woburn candelabra of 1807 and the silver wine cooler of 1810 now on display in the Vermeil Room in the White House.<\/p>\n

As well as these substantial and ornate signature pieces he also produced a superb range of more simple table ware which is highly sought after and collectable and can make a very desirable addition to a collection of antique silver.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
