 Paul DeLamerie Sterling Silver Coffee Pot (est. $30,000-40,000) |
Of particular interest is Lot 261, a George IV silver gilt cup and cover, circa 1827, amazingly worked with bacchic figures and grapevines, and a spectacular horse and jockey finial from the makers Emes and Barnard.
The cup and cover is inscribed "Lambert & Rawlings Fecit, Goldsmiths to HRH the Duke of Clarence, London" on the pedestal. Lot 110 is a unique Paul Storr silver figure of a classical maiden, circa 1815.
Lot 243, a rare and important Paul DeLamarie silver coffeepot, circa 1714, is one of the earliest pieces to ever come on the market by one of the world's most important silversmiths. DeLamarie pieces are difficult if nonexistent in the market. Lot 183 is a Paul Storr silver gilt wine cooler, circa 1820.
