{"product_id":"georgian-silver-coffee-jug-by-paul-storr","title":"Georgian Silver Coffee Jug by Paul Storr","description":"This Georgian silver biggin, or coffee pot, was crafted by Paul Storr, and it exhibits all the hallmarks of the Neoclassical style for which the legendary London silversmith was renowned. Details abound, from the pineapple finial and scrolling wooden handle to the egg and dart trim on the classical urn-shaped body to the lion’s paw feet of the stand. The coffee pot stands tall on its original lamp stand and is decorated with ring surmounts. These design elements reflect the influence of Egyptian design which was popular at the time, thanks to new archeological discoveries. The work also bears a finely engraved griffin head. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Considered the most important and influential English silversmith of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, Storr enjoyed royal patronage throughout his career, including that of King George IV. Large works from Storr are particularly difficult to find in their complete, original condition, making this mint example a true rarity. This coffee pot was also part of the iconic Red McCombs collection, which has been highly publicized and studied. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Hallmarked Paul Storr, London, 1801 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 13\" high x 7\" diameter \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Provenance:\u003cbr\u003e Red McCombs Collection, Texas\u003cbr\u003e MSR, New Orleans \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Exhibited:\u003cbr\u003e San Antonio Museum of Art, \u003cem\u003eThe Age of Excellence: English, Irish and American Silver, 1700—1900\u003c\/em\u003e, 1997","brand":"MSR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50274951659810,"sku":"31-9210","price":12850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0961\/6710\/0706\/files\/31-9210_1.png?v=1756229559","url":"https:\/\/banksyarts.com\/products\/georgian-silver-coffee-jug-by-paul-storr","provider":"The Louvre of America","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
