The four-lobed, domed lid is made in the same way. The handle, finial and spout were cast.<br><br><b>People</b><br>This coffee pot was made in the 1830s by the Royal Goldsmiths, Robert Garrard & Brothers. It was inspired by a design of about 1760 by the furniture designer and maker John Linnell (1729-1796). By 1760 Linnell's engraved designs for silver were too late to have much impact on the silver of his contemporaries, although a tea caddy based on his design was produced at the time.<br><br><b>Design & Designing</b><br>The Rococo was one of the earliest and most significant of the 19th-century stylistic revivals. Many of the designs simply re-assembled Rococo motifs to suit the eclectic taste of consumers. This coffee pot, however, copies an original 18th-century design more faithfully in form and in spirit.","physicalDescription":"Silver, raised, baluster coffee pot of quatrefoil section bellied at the base and sparsely engraved with scrolls and acanthus leaves, partly panelled.  Four lobed, domed lid conforming in outline and similarly engracved surmounted by a removeable finial in the form of a naturalistic sprig of leaves and flowers.  Cast curved spout with leaf ornament.  Cast silver scroll handle(possibly a later replacement for the original wooden handle) with two ivory insulation bands.
