This enchanting silver salver was crafted by the master of Georgian silver, Paul Storr. This engaging piece exhibits a detailed motif of animals associated with the hunt, including a fox, dogs, doves and a rabbit, all executed in rich repoussé. Set atop scrolling feet and accented with an engraved crest, this tray superbly illustrates Storr's matchless talent.
Though primarily known for his mastery of the neoclassical style, Storr was also particularly noted for his outstanding craftsmanship in the execution of richly decorated pieces, especially presentation silver. Revered among history's finest silversmiths, Paul Storr is credited with perfecting the works, styles and designs of the Regency period. His legacy is a remarkable body of work that spans over several stylistic periods with far-reaching influences. From his Neo-classical masterpieces to his exuberant, ornate vessels, Storr imparted a level of craftsmanship and superior quality that has seldom been seen since.
