A pair of William IV silver open salts
A pair of William IV silver open salts, Paul Storr, London 1835, each on a Rococo base supporting two silver gilt lined salts and surmounted by two putti, a crest of a wyvern holding a hand in its mouth to one end and initial A to the other, 14cm x 18cm, approximately 2162g/Note: The crest is of Herbert, Earls of Pembroke. This lot bears close similarities with the Pembroke Service which was largely produced between 1834-35. Robert Henry Herbert, 12th Earl of Pembroke and 9th Earl of Montgomery (1791-1862) divided his time between his London residence at 7 Carlton House Terrace, and a Parisian residence at 19 Place Vendome, the Hotel d'Evreux. When the Earl gave up his London residence in 1851 a portion of the Storr service was sold by Christie’s. Lot 44 in that sale was catalogued as ‘A set of four double salts, of elegant scroll pattern, each with two figures of boys’ and Lot 45 ‘A pair ditto’. Whether the present lot relates to these is unknown as the initial A does not seemingly relate to the Herbert family.
