Directors Choice – Sir Charles Ogle, 2nd Baronet’s Tea Service
As Vice Admiral and then followed with his promotion to Admiral of the fleet, Sir Charles Ogle, 2nd Baronet would have needed a fitting tea and coffee service to suit his rank and meet his needs to entertain in the right manner. At this moment in the 19th century there was nothing more fashionable, than the fantastical tea services that Edward Farrell was creating in the ‘Teniers Style’ This weeks Director’s Choice focuses on this wonderfully complete five-piece tea and coffee service.
The tea and coffee service beautifully chased and cast with scenes of drunken revelry and pub scenes. The kettle also with a fabulous boar’s hunt scene and hound masks to its’s feet and stand. The kettle also with its original wicker handle surviving intact.
