A Pair of George IV Silver Tureens, Covers & Stands from The Duchess of St. Albans Service
This extraordinary pair of soup tureens, liners and stands exemplify the magnificence of what was the most valuable service in the country. The lavishness and opulence of the cast and applied decoration of patriotic English oak and acorns together with adorned acanthus would have graced the presence of royalty and aristocrats at the Duchess’ residence in Statton Street. The beauty of their design by Edward Hodges Baily and brilliance in execution by Rundell’s workshop make these my Director’s Choice this week.
