A WILLIAM IV SILVER MEAT-DISH FROM THE PEMBROKE SERVICE
MARK OF PAUL STORR, LONDON, 1834
Shaped oval with foliage scroll and lattice cast and chased border, applied at each side with a cypher below an earl's coronet, marked under base, the base further numbered and engraved with a scratchweight 'No 10 68"18' and stamped 'Storr & Mortimer 19'
20 in. (51 cm.) wide
67 oz. 2 dwt. (2,087 gr.)
The cypher is that of Robert Henry, 12th Earl of Pembroke and 9th Earl of Montgomery (1791-1862). Robert succeeded on the death of his father in 1827 and took his seat in the House of Lords in 1833. In 1837 he was living in Paris, where Lord Malmesbury wrote of him, 'Lord Pembroke lives in great state in Paris, and is as famous for his cook as for his horses. He is a very handsome man' (Malmesbury, Memoirs of an ex-Minister, vol. I, p. 78).

Robert Henry, 12th Earl of Pembroke and 9th Earl of Montgomery (1791-1862) and then by descent.
Presumably sold by the family in the second half of the 19th century.

專家說明

This meat-dish forms part of an extensive service of plate commissioned by the 12th Earl of Pembroke from Paul Storr between 1827 and 1837. Perhaps the most impressive piece from the service is the fantastical candelabrum surmounted by the Pembroke gryphon measuring over 40 inches high made for the Earl in 1835 and now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, part of the Robert L. Joseph bequest in 1959.
