Antique Victorian and Art Nouveau Silver
THE VICTORIAN ERA
The reigns of King William IV and Queen Victoria, which together cover a period of seventy years, produced many variations in design whose origins can be traced back to a number of historical styles. To appreciate
much of the work one must banish from one’s mind the source of inspiration, otherwise comparison will lead to criticism. As new methods of workmanship were introduced with the invention of machinery, the fine
detail, so much a feature of the past, was often lost. This is not to say that all plate was poorly executed, but that often the form is more pleasing than the details.
The pattern set by Rundell, Bridge & Rundell of employing a team of designers was taken up by other firms, and among these was the organization founded by Paul Storr. This firm and another, controlled by Robert
Garrard, the Royal Goldsmith, were responsible for many of the outstanding commissions of the Victorian era.

The Rococo Revival
The second decade of the 19th century saw the revival of Rococo ornament. This is illustrated by the coffee jug on lampstand of 1829, by Storr. Although well executed and displaying typical Rococo motifs, the
application of the ornament bears little resemblance to the original style. This piece is in good taste, but the jealous imitation of the style by other less gifted craftsmen resulted in some pieces of silver which are best
ignored.
Another source of inspiration was the marine ornament favoured by such craftsmen as Nicholas Sprimont in the 18th century, as was the plate brought by French emigrants, who arrived in England, first after the
Revolution and later after the fall of Napoleon. The two pieces reproduced illustrate this last point.
The Naturalistic style
The Rococo Revival led to the use of ornament based on natural forms. This developed from the application of handles and finials in these shapes ? as in the coffee pot of 1829 by Paul Storr where the handle is in the
form of a branch ? to whole objects being wrought in this manner. Examples are the salt cellar of 1832 and salt spoon of 1835, by the unidentified maker W.B. ? probably William Bateman. The body of the salt cellar is
in the form of a convolvulus bloom resting on a base formed as a leafy spray. The spoon, with a similar bowl, is fitted with a handle resembling a branch. The style progressed and reached the height of its popularity during the 1840s. This is obvious from the number of centrepieces in the form of oak trees, dishes resembling leaves, and wine ewers, frequently made of glass, engulfed in silver mounts in the form of vines.

Octagonal bottle stand by Charles Reily and George Storer. London 1841
The Gothic Revival
A few items of silver were produced in the Gothic style, which enjoyed a massive revival during the 19th century. Its chief protagonist was A. W. N. Pugin, who was discovered by Rundell, Bridge & Rundell at an early age and later joined the Birmingham firm of John Hardman. Converted to Roman Catholicism in his twenties, he came to regard Gothic as the only true Christian style. This is reflected in his designs for church silver, signed by him and counter-signed by J. G. Bridge, which are now in the Victoria and Albert Museum.
Although the silver produced in this style was mainly reserved for ecclesiastical purposes, some pieces of domestic plate illustrate similar designs. The bottle stand by Reily and Storer of 1841 is one such piece. The
octagonal body is formed by Gothic arches enclosing typical tracery. The purism to be seen in Pugin’s work is not carried to such extremes in this instance, as the border is applied with shamrocks, roses and thistles.
The bowl by Rawlings and Summers of 1840 represents a modest piece in 16th-century taste. The ruby glass body is supported by silver-gilt mounts displaying valance borders, chased with scrolling leafage and
diaperwork and inset with semi-precious stones. The handles are in the form of goat masks and the piece is raised on an openwork base.
Obvious legacies of the Regency period were the ovolo borders, acanthus foliage and husks (which had never really disappeared from use) as were the friezes of figures of Classical inspiration. But whereas in the
Regency period these had been embossed, now they were engraved or flat-chased. Variations of texture were achieved by burnishing and matting certain areas, particularly the stylized leafage accompanying the
scenes.
The wine ewer, made in 1860 by Messrs Barnard, illustrates a Classical frieze after Flaxman depicting Mercury and Pandora accompanied by stylized leafage. This is in complete contrast to the naturalistic treatment of the handle and finial.

The Renaissance and Classical styles
Two of the most popular styles which found favour during the middle of the 19th century were those based on Renaissance and Classical ornament.
The Renaissance Revival found greatest expression in the impressive shields and trophies designed and executed for the great industrial exhibitions of the day. Among the exponents of the style were a number of
French designers, Antoine Vechte, Leonard Morel-Ladeuil and Albert Wilms, and the Englishman Henry Hugh Armstead. Vechte’s early career was spent in Paris producing arms and armour in the Italian Renaissance
manner. In 1844 he met John S. Hunt. He was later commissioned by Hunt to design the Titian Vase which was exhibited in Paris in 1847. Due to political trouble, despite his fame, he was unemployed when Hunt
induced him to come to England and become a permanent employee of the firm of Hunt & Roskell in 1849.

Cream jug by Frederick Elkington. Silver-gilt. Birmingham 1875
The fortunes of the Elkington organization were made by the discovery of the method of plating silver by means of a galvanic current, patented by George Elkington in 1840. They were also concerned with the mania of the period in producing impressive pieces for exhibitions and rivalled the leading London firms.
They employed a number of French designers, among them Leonard Morel-Ladeuil. Born in Clermont-Ferrand, he studied under Vechte in Paris. In 1859 he was engaged by the Elkington firm and worked for them until his death in 1888. Among his important works is the Milton Shield, which depicts scenes from Paradise Lost in Renaissance style. It was shown at the Paris Exhibition of 1867. Its popularity, enhanced, no doubt, by the glowing reviews of contemporary critics, led to the production of many electrotype copies carried out by Elkington, an example of mass-production brought about by the technical achievements of the day.
The influence of Japan
A notable source of inspiration was the art of Japan which could be seen at many of the major exhibitions in the 1860s.
The craze was reflected in all forms of decorative art. In silver, the actual shapes of Japanese metalware were seldom emulated except for some straight-sided vessels similar to the cream jug by Frederick Elkington of
Birmingham, made in 1875. The real influence is to be found in the decorative motifs the most common being branches bearing cherry blossoms (seen on the handle of the jug), fans, and strapwork enclosing geometric designs. Borders simulating bamboo, used three-dimensionally, carried on the naturalistic style and can be seen on the salver, also by Elkington, of 1879. This piece shows a typical Japanese-inspired design. The initials R.G., formed by branches centred by a bird in flight are a most attractive addition. Gilding and parcel-gilding are other features of the style.

Snuff boxes
and vinaigrettes
Among items of special note produced in the Victorian era are snuff boxes and vinaigrettes, associated in particular with Birmingham craftsmen. The first pieces reproduced are two table snuff boxes measuring 42in and Sin respectively. They resemble pocket snuff boxes, which continued to be made, but these are of larger size. The sides and lid of the first example, by Edward Smith of 1853, display engine-turning, a means of
decorating surfaces by turning metalwork on a lathe to produce decorative patterns.
Vinaigrettes were introduced during the second half of the 18th century, replacing pomanders of earlier periods. Their purpose was to ward off unpleasant smells. The interiors were fitted with sponges soaked in an aromatic substance and concealed by pierced grilles.

Christopher Dresser
During the second half of the 19th century there was severe criticism of the current silver designs, inspired by foreign craftsmen and carried out by large commercial organizations. The designer Christopher Dresser
(1834-1904) recognized the necessity for industrial production, but he aimed to promote functional and simple designs. In an article entitled ‘Principles of Design’, he pointed out that precious metals have an intrinsic value and therefore should be employed sparingly; this would mean that silver articles need not necessarily be ‘expensive and would therefore reach a far wider public than before. Working freelance, his designs were used by Hukin & Heath, Elkington & Co., and James Dickson & Son. From the relatively few pieces in existence it is obvious that he was not accepted, either by the general public, who regarded the ostentatious styles as more to their taste, or the intellectuals, who disliked the idea of mass-production. But perhaps he was a man born ahead of his time; this stark simplicity was not seen again until the 1920s, in the work of the Bauhaus school.
The drawing for a teapot, for Elkington & Co., illustrates many of his principles of design. Using the minimum amount of metal, the body is formed by a cylinder, cut at intervals to produce the required shape. The decoration is limited to the rivets securing the overlapping incisions which are left unfinished. The straight tubular handle, inspired by Japanese work and joined to the body by strips of metal, is the only feature reminiscent of the past.
When mounting other materials in silver, he employed the same principles to produce elegant and functional items. This is illustrated by the claret jug of 1883, which was made by Hukin & Heath and bears their London
makers’ mark J.W.H./ J.T.H. The firm also worked in Birmingham where a different maker’s mark was used. The jug is struck with the Patent Office Design Registry mark for 1881. These registry marks frequently appear on silver made between 1842 and 1883, and after this date were replaced by serial numbers.

Art Nouveau
At the same time as Dresser was producing his designs for work on a commercial scale another school of thought emerged. This was an offshoot of the movement started by John Ruskin and William Morris which led to the foundation of the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society. One of the most ardent followers, Charles Robert Ashbee (1863-1924) founded the Guild of Handicrafts ts Ltd in 1888. The organization was involved in the production of metalwork, woodwork, leather-work and later books, avoiding the domination of the machine.
It was the designs for silver by Ashbee which were the oustanding achievements of the Guild, although, an architect by profession, he had little knowledge of the craft of silversmithing. As many of the Guild craftsmen were amateurs, or boys recruited from the East End of London and trained at the Ashbee school, much of their work was rather crude. His aversion to machine-produced articles is reflected by the fact that he encouraged his silversmiths to leave the hammer-

marks on the surface of their work a technique which was later adopted by other firms to simulate hand-wrought items.
Most of his designs are characterized by the application of long loop handles and semi-precious stones, the latter a feature of Pugin’s work at an earlier date. Possibly Ashbee considered this the only idea worth
salvaging from the previous era. These features are illustrated by the bowl which bears the maker’s mark of the Guild of Handicrafts, registered by Ashbee in 1896. From contemporary records we know that he did not
consider these designs as Art Nouveau, but today it is classified as such. The decoration of the bowl shows characteristic features of the style, but not the total involvement apparent elsewhere.
The casket represents the work produced for the firm of Liberty & Co., founded by Arthur Lasenby Liberty in 1875. Liberty used many metalwork designers, but as the firm’s policy was to keep their names secret it has
not been possible to establish with certainty the designer of the casket. However it has been attributed to Alexander Knox (1864-1933), one of their most gifted employees.
