Theed’s design is after a vase in the Villa Albani. It was engraved by C.H. Tatham and used by Rundell’s for a set of eight coolers by Digby Scott and Benjamin Smith (1808) in the Royal Collection, and for a set of four by Paul Storr (1809).\n\r\nThis vase and stand, one of a set of four, is typical of the kind of grand neo-classical plate demanded by wealthy clients to dress their buffets or dining tables in the early 19th century. \r\n\nDecorated with a bacchanalian procession including Dionysus, Persephone and a drunken Silenus carried by two satyrs, it is based on a design by William Theed, who in turn was inspired by a classical vase in the Villa Albani. The pattern was extremely successful. It was first made as a set of eight by Benjamin Smith for the Royal collections, and then used repeatedly by Paul Storr, with minor variations.\n\nTheed was a sculptor who ran Rundells' design studio until his death in 1817. His employment illustrates the common practise for major 19th-century firms to take on artists to design silver which was generally made by a firm of subcontractors (Paul Storr in this case). John Flaxman (1755-1826) and Thomas Stothard (1755-1834) were two of the most illustrious names connected with the firm.","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Wine cooler,gilded silver, cast and chased, with applied ornament, English (London), maker's mark of Paul Storr for Rundell Bridge and Rundell, 1809-1810.","bibliographicReferences":[],"production":"","productionType":{"text":"","id":""},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[{"text":"Bacchus","id":"N191"},{"text":"Dionysus","id":"N190"},{"text":"Persephone","id":"N140"}],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[{"text":"satyrs","id":"x35233"},{"text":"chariots","id":"AAT212699"},{"text":"horses","id":"AAT162082"},{"text":"leopards","id":"x30393"},{"text":"attendants","id":"x38543"},{"text":"trumpets","id":"AAT42339"},{"text":"amphorae","id":"AAT148696"},{"text":"vines","id":"AAT132406"},{"text":"egg and dart moldings","id":"AAT3469"},{"text":"gadroons","id":"x38295"},{"text":"crests","id":"AAT233389"}],"contentConcepts":[],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[{"text":"WINE COOLER\r\nENGLISH; 1809-10\r\nSilver-gilt.\r\n\r\nFrom a set of four.
