Lot Report

Literature:

See Penzer, Dr. N.M., Paul Storr, 1771-1844: Silversmith and Goldsmith, p. 214-215, pl. LXVIII, where a six-branch candelabrum with similar figures is illustrated, Penzer noting in his discussion of it that “... Storr often made several castings of sections suitable for candelabra, centre-pieces, presentation cups, etc., which would be ready for orders which otherwise take years to complete.”
