During the Regency period, Rundell, Bridge & Rundell were the most important and prestigious retailer of silver in London and the workshop of Paul Storr was one of their main suppliers. Patronage came in the form of the royal court (especially the free spending Prince Regent, future King George IV) and the these six table spoons are representative of the fine quality emanating from this silver workshop and bear engraved crests surmounted by a ducal crest. The spoons are good, early examples of the King's Hourglass pattern retaining their crisp, double-struck decoration. Competitively priced at just £150 each, these spoons have a good hefty weight and are in excellent condition with clear sets of hallmarks
