Master of the Regency Aesthetic

M.S. Rau presents remarkable silver by Paul Storr, whose work defined the zenith of English silversmithing during the late Georgian and Regency periods. Storr established his London workshop in 1796, quickly rising to prominence through commissions for the royal family and aristocracy. His association with renowned retailers Rundell, Bridge & Rundell positioned him as the premier silversmith of his era.

Technical Virtuosity and Classical Revival

Storr's significance stems from his technical mastery and artistic interpretation of neoclassical design principles. His workshop produced silver of extraordinary weight and substance, with complex cast and chased ornament executed with remarkable precision. Storr's distinctive style combined bold architectural forms with intricate classical motifs and sculptural elements. His work demonstrates the perfect merger of sophisticated design with technical excellence—hallmarks of his output.
