Note: Paul Storr (English 1770-1844) was a talented and highly respected gold/silversmith during the Georgian Era. His success in Neo-Classical silver designs led to Royal commissions as well as retail silverware for the upper classes. Royalty and the British aristocratic families commissioned grand centerpieces and dinnerware that are still in use today. An example is the Grand Service of Buckingham Palace used for State Banquets and important occasions. Storr's reputation for quality and style resulted in his amassing a world wide clientele and examples of his fine silver can be found in both private collections and public museums spread across the globe.
