It was made to supplement a silver service presented to Wellington by Portugal in 1816. The Portuguese service was a major diplomatic gift of thanks for the Duke of Wellington’s victories over Napoleon I in the Peninsular War of 1808–14, resulting in Wellington’s expulsion of French troops from Portugal. \r\n\r\nThe stand was made by Paul Storr, a well-known and highly talented silversmith working in Regency London who made pieces largely in an assured Neo-classical style. The cover, surmounted by a silver gilt pine cone finial, is decorated with the arms of the Duque da Victoria within the orders of the Garter, the Golden Fleece, the Grand Order of the Bath and the Grâ-Cruz da Ordem Militar da Torre e Espada.","physicalDescription":"","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Garrard, Robert (II)","id":"A8414"},"association":{"text":"maker","id":"AAT251917"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"silver","id":"AAT11029"}],"techniques":[],"materialsAndTechniques":"Silver","categories":[{"text":"Eating","id":"THES48963"},{"text":"Food vessels & Tableware","id":"THES48952"},{"text":"Metalwork","id":"THES48920"},{"text":"Tableware & cutlery","id":"THES48888"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"MET","id":"THES48599"},"images":["2006BB2380"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"005","id":"THES404518"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""},{"current":{"text":"005","id":"THES404518"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""},{"current":{"text":"005","id":"THES404518"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""},{"current":{"text":"005","id":"THES404518"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Stand","id":""}],[{"text":"Burner","id":""}],[{"text":"Lid","id":""}],[{"text":"Dish","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"London","id":"x28980"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1824-1825","earliest":"1824-01-01","latest":"1825-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Purchased with the assistance of the National Heritage Memorial Fund and  Art Fund","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"10.5","unit":"in","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"10.5","unit":"in","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"On base of dish, duty sterling and date letter for 1824-5, mark of Robert Garrard II, Lid of burner has sterling, date letter for 1824-5 and mark of Robert Garrard II, burner base has duty sterling date letter for 1824-5 and Mark of Robert Garrard II and stand has full hallmarks for London 1820-1 and mark of Paul Storr.","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":""}],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Triangular silver hot plate, 'Portuguese Service', made in London: burner, dish and lid by Robert Garrard II, 1824-1825; stand made by Paul Storr, 1820-1821.","bibliographicReferences":[{"reference":{"text":"","id":""},"details":"","free":"Delaforce, Angela and James Yorke. <u>Portugal's silver service : a victory gift to the Duke of Wellington</u> London : Victoria and Albert Museum, 1992. 143 p., ill.
