Today, his legacy of exceptionally well-crafted silver, found worldwide in museums and private collections, leaves one in awe when compared to that of his contemporaries. After having served a seven-year apprenticeship from the age of 14, he began his career in 1792 when he went into a brief partnership with William Frisbee. This did not last and in 1793 a new mark (his initials ‘P S’) was entered. By the beginning of the nineteenth century, he had established himself as one of London’s top silversmiths, producing, amongst others, commissions for Royalty. In 1801, he married Elizabeth Susanna Beyer with whom he was to have ten children. In 1807, Paul Storr entered into a working relationship with Philip Rundell and, by 1811, was a partner, and managing the workshops for Rundell, Bridge & Rundell. During this period, he kept his own marks and a separate workshop. However, it was through Rundell, Bridge & Rundell, who were appointed Goldsmith in Ordinary to George III in 1804, that his reputation as a master silversmith grew. His talents lay in being able to transform ideas and designs from Rundell, Bridge & Rundell’s designers, William Theed II, the chief modeller and head of the design department, and later John Flaxman II, who succeeded him in 1817. During this period, Rundell, Bridge & Rundell’s reputation grew due to the patronage of the Prince Regent (later George IV). Storr & Mortimer was a prestigious 19th-century London goldsmith and silversmith firm founded in 1822 by celebrated silversmith Paul Storr and retailer John Mortimer. Operating primarily from New Bond Street, they became renowned for exceptionally high-quality luxury silver and held a Royal Warrant until the firm was renamed Hunt & Roskell. Our reference: A5303
