An Introduction to Paul Storr silver
The decline in ‘academic’ silver (18th century and earlier) is being offset by a rising interest in Regency display plate, often rich in provenance and grandiose in scale.
The sale of The Duke of York centrepiece, a silver-gilt nine-light candelabrum by Edward Farrell, demonstrates this perfectly: The hammer price of £860,000 matched both its heft (35KG) and its beauty, yet had the piece been made by the famous silversmith Paul Storr its price would invariably have been even higher, such is Storrs reputation.
The early life of Paul Storr
Paul Storr is one of, if not the, most outstanding English silversmiths. The son of a silver-chaser turned innkeeper, Storr was baptised in London on the 28th October 1770 and would rise to both fame and fortune through the 19th century. He was apprenticed to the silversmith Andrew Fogelberg in around 1785, although the exact date is unknown. Apprenticeships in this time typically lasted seven years, and we know he was made free in 1792. Storr then went into partnership with William Frisbee, although this partnership was short lived and Storr registered his own mark in 1793.
