Angell, Joseph. Georgian Silver (1714 – 1830). Four piece, Regency period (1811-1820), silver tea & coffee service, London, hallmarked 1818, 1819. Comprising: coffeepot, teapot, sugar bowl, and cream pitcher, each in pear form, the body hinged dome cover and circular pedestal foot repoussé with scrolling foliage and scroll form reserves. The reserves with genre scenes, lid with figural finial, leaf-capped scroll handles and swan neck spout. Note: in the 18th and 19th centuries, tea and coffee services were not produced, at one time, as a complete unit. Usually a 3 piece tea set would have been made, or a creamer & sugar, then the teapot would have been added and later a coffeepot. Silver was very expensive to buy during that period and as a result the wealthy purchased in this manner. It took two years to create this masterpiece. The detail is incredible and it’s easy to see the value and the amount of effort that went into producing this service. It has an oriental influence in the design and has cherubs frolicking and eating grapes. A wild boar is the main pouring handle anchor and the handles have ivory insulators. There are highly polished areas and filigree areas of infinite detail. Much of it done with a tiny punch and hammer from the back, to accomplish the background finish. A previous or original owner had a horse head engraved into the silver usually where the family crest or initials would go. Maybe it is a family crest. The silver tray is rare, Old Sheffield Plate (1743-1850) and is Circa: 1820. It’s a perfect match to the Joseph Angell silver service. I purchased the service and the tray at Fortunoff on Fifth Avenue, New York, NY. Museum quality. Exquisite.

Still Life with Flowers and Jug
Oil on canvas by Charles Cobelle. Still Life, Flowers with Jug. Signed lower right “Cobelle”.
