Fabulous and bold decoration distinguishes these covered entrée dishes by renowned silversmith and retailer Philip Rundell, with Sheffield plate stands and liners by silversmith Matthew Boulton. Probably made on commission for Lord Cropley Ashley-Cooper, 6th Earl of Shaftesbury, these incredible dishes are part of the Sutton Service, heavily adorned with the most ornate and detailed ornamentation. An extraordinary acanthus and shell motif is skillfully executed throughout the design, from medallion lid handles, and the elegantly bordered top plates, to the lush leaves adorning the feet. Innovative as well as beautiful, the fluted lids are molded to fit tightly with the border decorations on the plate, a feature not only aesthetically pleasing, but functional for retaining heat. The applied coat-of-arms of Lord Ashley-Cooper appear twice on each lid, as do several additional family crests. Fashioned with the utmost care and eye for detail, this set exemplifies the artistry for which this highly-respected firm became known. The liners are also marked with a crest.
Hallmarked London, 1819
Rundell was a member in the famed partnership of Rundell, Bridge and Rundell, Royal Goldsmiths and Jewelers to the British Crown. He began his career apprenticed to William Rogers of Bath in 1760. When he moved to London upon completion of his apprenticeship, he became a shopman for the firm Theed and Pickett. Rundell and Pickett became partners in 1772 and soon after, Rundell became sole owner of the business. His partnership with John Bridge began in 1788. With the addition of Phillip's nephew Edmund Rundell in 1803, the firm became known as Rundell, Bridge and Rundell. Their cumulative talents earned them the title of Royal Goldsmiths and Jewelers to the King in 1797 and soon, they were able to bring into the business some of the most accomplished silversmiths of the period, including the incomparable Paul Storr.
