Silver-Gilt Decanter Labels, Set of 4
Paul Storr
Hallmarked London, 1835

This exceptional set of four silver-gilt decanter labels, crafted by the renowned silversmith Paul Storr, showcases the height of English dining elegance at the end of the Georgian era. The piercework titles clearly designate their intended use for port, sherry, amontillado and madeira. The labels are richly adorned with a dynamic scroll motif, accented by leaves and volutes. These handcrafted labels exemplify the artistry and sophistication of Paul Storr’s shop, drawing inspiration from the French-influenced designs popularized during the reign of William IV.

The ornate Rococo style seen in these labels reflects the enduring influence of Bacchus-related motifs, often associated with wine and revelry. From vine tendrils to lion masks, such elements were commonplace in the luxurious dining settings of the 19th century. Storr’s work, often compared to the earlier silver produced by Rundell, Bridge & Rundell, is renowned for its attention to detail and high craftsmanship. The influence of grand commissions like the Warwick Vase is evident in his design of these exquisite wine labels. In the 19th century, fine tableware objects developed into true works of art, as is apparent in these functional decorations.

Paul Storr is one of England’s most celebrated silversmiths, famed for his exceptional skill in creating grand silverware for the aristocracy, including commissions for royalty. His work, particularly during his tenure with Rundell, Bridge & Rundell, elevated the art of silver crafting. His influence continued into the 1830s, and these decanter labels exemplify the refined craftsmanship for which he is renowned.
