Paul Storr Georgian Silver Tray

This large, rectangular tray was crafted by the preeminent silversmith of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, Paul Storr. Executed in the Late Georgian style, its clean lines and understated embellishments demonstrate the era's preference for the neoclassical aesthetic. Paul Storr mastered this style, as evidenced by this tray's elegant curves, symmetry and lightness. A highly detailed coat of arms is engraved within a central cartouche, suggesting a noble provenance.

Storr's talent and vision in his art are evident, from the smallest pair of salts to this magnificent tray; every piece produced in his workshop exhibits the same extraordinary attention to detail and superior craftsmanship that serve as a benchmark of Storr's genius.
