The Scarbrough Sauceboats
These sculptural vessels epitomise the high rocaille style created by Nicholas Sprimont. They also demonstrate the close ties between the modelling of silver and porcelain and the interconnected business relationships between a small group of leading silversmiths working around Compton Street in Soho in the 18th century. Sauceboats of this quality exist in a few museum collections around the world. This jewel-like pair has quality, provenance, and exquisite modelling, making these an easy Director’s Choice.
