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.
