Silver Hot Water Kettle on Stand
Paul Storr
Hallmarked 1830

Exceptionally rare and exquisitely crafted, this hot water kettle by Paul Storr is a masterpiece of 19th-century English silver. Adorned with beautiful Rococo foliate designs, both the kettle and its stand are lavishly cast and chased with an incredible level of precision. Every inch of this incredible kettle’s design serves as proof of Storr’s status as a master silversmith. 

This kettle and its stand are ingeniously designed for convenience and stability, in addition to its opulent decorative effect. A set of two pins chained to the stand allows for a variety of attachment styles between the kettle and stand, allowing for security and stable pouring. The elaborately scrolled handle is wrapped in wicker for safe handling, and the lamp in the stand still holds its wick of thick woven cotton. Emblazoned with the coat of arms for a member of the Mellish family of Blythe, this kettle would have served as a striking centerpiece for an important tea service.

Without question, Paul Storr is among history’s finest smiths, revered for perfecting the works, styles and designs of the Regency period. Though he held no formal title, Storr enjoyed patronage from the most important and powerful figures of the period, including King George III and the Prince of Wales, the future King George IV. He imparted a level of craftsmanship and superior quality that has seldom been seen since. Today, his creations are highly regarded and collected by museums and silver connoisseurs around the world. This kettle was most recently part of the renowned Red McCombs Collection, which has been highly publicized and studied.
