"Paul Storr (1770-1844) is the most famous English silversmith of the late Georgian period. His work, represented in museums across Britain and North America, covers a wide range of styles, from stark classicism to exuberant naturalism, but always with workmanship of stunning quality. Storr's working career spanned nearly fifty years and saw the rise of Britain as a great sea power and of London as the centre of an empire that rivalled ancient Rome. Advances in industry and technology were embraced by Storr, an artist and businessman who ranks alongside Josiah Wedgwood and Matthew Boulton in the hsitory of decorative arts in Britain. New customs in dining and drinking are reflected in the wealth of articles from Storr's workshop, the output of which reflects the great flourishing of the arts in early nineteenth-century Britain."
