Paul Storr - Sauce boat - Silver - STERLING SILVER

A George III salt cellar in 925 sterling silver produced by Paul Storr. London 1816.

Paul Storr (1770-1844) is the most famous English silversmith of the Georgian period. His work, represented in museums across Great Britain and North America, spans a wide range of styles, from the classical to exuberant naturalism, but always with workmanship of extraordinary quality.

The salt cellar was purchased at an auction session in 1991 at La Rocca Gallery in Turin where it was erroneously listed as a “zuppierina.”
