Removal of PurchasesDeliveries will not be made during the time of the sale unless otherwise indicated by the auctioneer. All items must be paid for and removed within ten (10) working days of the sale. Purchases not so removed may be turned over to a licensed warehouse at the expense and risk of the purchaser.

Shipping and Packing Responsibility for packing, shipping and insurance shall be exclusively that of the purchaser. Upon request, Freeman’s will provide the purchaser with names of professional packers and shippers known to us.

Endangered SpeciesLots marked * are manufactured in whole or in part of restricted materials that may include tortoiseshell, ivory, mother-of-pearl, coral, rhinoceros horn, whalebone or marine ivory. Such materials may require specific licenses, certificates, or CITES documentation for import, export, moving between states in the U.S., or resale. Obtaining these documents may require scientific, laboratory or other expert analysis, in order to establish which species or genus the material came from. Freeman’s is unable to provide this information, and the obligation is on the purchaser of a lot containing any of these materials to ensure that they are able to obtain all the necessary or required documents should they need to, prior to bidding on the lot. If proper documentation or licenses etc. cannot be obtained for a purchased lot, the purchaser will still be required to make an on time payment for the lot as per our standard terms and conditions. Freeman’s cataloguing of the lots marked with this symbol * represents the best of our opinion, and the absence of this symbol from any lot description does not form a warranty that the lot will be free from any licensing or certification restrictions.

(including candelabra arms).note:Paul Storr (1771-1844) began his career at age 14when he apprenticed to the Swedish émigré silversmithAndrew Fogelberg. After his apprenticeship, Storrentered into partnership with William Frisbee andregistered his first mark in 1792. Shortly after, he began touse his PS mark which he registered several times throughouthis career. Paul Storr had made some impressive pieces prior to 1800, mostnotably the solid gold font commissioned by the 3rd Duke ofPortland, designed by Humphrey Repton and manufactured by Storrin 1797. However, his reputation as one of the most impressive Englishsilversmith’s was cemented after he joined Phillip Rundell (1746-1827)of Rundell, Bridge, and Rundell. Phillip Rundell assembled one of Britain’smost important and successful silver manufacturing businesses andemployed some of the most distinguished craftsmen of the period,including John Flaxman R.A., Thomas Stothard, and Paul Storr whojoined the firm in 1806. During his time as lead silversmith at thecompany, Storr created numerous large-scale commissioned pieces for leadingnobility and the English royalty. In 1819, preferring creative independence, Storr left Rundell, Bridge, and Rundell,and later formed a partnership with John Mortimer. His later work produced forhis retail business of Storr & Mortimer, goldsmiths and jewelers on London’sBond Street, focused increasingly on naturalistic and rococo inspired designspopular during the period. This is evident in this pair of William IV silvercandlesticks made by Paul Storr in 1835. One is numbered “11” and the other“4”, indicating that these two are possibly from a commissioned set of twelve.Another pair has appeared at auction in recent years (Sotheby’s London, Lot 379,May 15, 2014), but none bore the monogram with coronet on the base of thispair.$10,000-15,000

He was an importer,retailer, and educator in subjectsspanning botany to industrialproduction and created designs formany manufacturers in France, GreatBritain, and the United States. Dresserwas greatly inspired by his training inbotany and later by his trip to Japan onbehalf of the South Kensington Museum(now the Victoria & Albert Museum) in1876. En route for Japan he delivered aseries of three lectures at thePhiladelphia Museum and School ofIndustrial Art and supervised themanufacture of wallpapers to his designfor Wilson Fennimore. He wascommissioned by Messrs Tiffany ofNew York to form a collection of artobjects both old and new which, whendisplayed in 1877, were the hit of theNew York exhibition season. In additionto being a designer, Dresser was also apublished author and wrote many bookson design and decoration, including TheArt of Decorative Design in 1862 andPrinciples of Design in 1873. This teapot is one of the designsDresser produced for Elkington & Co.around 1885. Although he had workedfor the firm from the late 1860’s, hisdesigns at this time were among the

most significant of his career. Thisteapot with its innovative geometricform and simple decoration of lines anddots is in stark contrast to the highlydecorative Rococo revival style whichdominated silverware at the time. Analmost identical teapot is held at theBritish Museum in London (Registrationno. 1980,1112.1).

Aftertwo years of military service, he began his studies atthe Royal College of Art, where a four-piece tea service and tray secured him thePrince of Wales Scholarship. As a young designer in the 1950s, Benney focusedon creating pieces that were new and fresh, and unlike what had been donebefore. He was strongly influenced by the minimalism of Scandinavian design,which ultimately translated into his own style celebrated for its clean and simplelines. By the 1960s, Gerald Benney became a recognizable and sought after namein the industry; his textured, or “bark” finish (created by accident while using abent hammer), became one of the most recognized elements of his style.$1,200-1,800

Total weight: 9.7 oz.note:Carl Poul Petersen (1895-1977), amaster Canadian silversmith, began histraining at the age of 13 when heworked as an apprentice under theleadership of renowned Danishdesigner Georg Jensen. Petersenstudied and learned under Jensen’sguidance for five years, in which timehe developed his own technique andskill while adapting similar Art Nouveauelements and the distinct simplicity ofJensen’s style and incorporating it intohis own craft. The work of Carl PoulPetersen represents an artistic stylethat possesses a strong European core.

As a new master silversmith, Petersenand his wife, Inger Jensen (1900-1976),daughter of Georg Jensen, left Denmarkand emigrated to Canada in 1929.Although Canada was entering its owneconomic depression at the time,Petersen was hired shortly after hismove as a mastersmith for Henry Birks& Sons, Ltd. Petersen’s style remainedconsistent through his use ofnaturalistic elements and floral motifs.Throughout his time at Henry Birks &Sons, Petersen familiarized himself withCanadian materials and began toincorporate traditionally Canadian

flowers and wild life into his Danishstyle. After ten years as a studio master,Petersen opened his own studio in 1944which produced fine pieces of hand-hammered and -chased flatware and

holloware. Carl Poul Petersen was at theforefront of Canadian modern

silver design. It was during the 1950sand 60s that Canadians becameincreasingly aware of the Danishmodern style and taste, at which pointPetersen’s handcrafted pieces becamehighly sought-after. One of Petersen’smost famous commissions was theengraving and eventual replication ofthe NHL’s Stanley Cup in 1962. Petersendesigned and executed a copy of theoriginal trophy to be used during traveland to honor the winning team, whilethe original is housed in the Hockey Hallof Fame in Toronto.
