EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning pair of George IV wine coolers, created in 1827 by the renowned silversmith Paul Storr. Standing at a height of 32.1 cm, these silver-gilt wine coolers are truly exquisite pieces of art. Each cooler is intricately designed as a volute krater resting on a square base adorned with an applied frieze. One cooler depicts Bacchus and Ariadne surrounded by dancing bacchantes and attendants, while the other showcases Ceres riding in a serpent-drawn chariot. The level of detail is remarkable, with satyr masks and vines adding to the ornate beauty. These wine coolers perfectly embody neoclassical style with their fluted design and embossed decoration. They evoke images of ancient mythology and Dionysian revelry, making them not only functional but also symbolic representations of indulgence. The silver-gilt finish adds an opulent touch to these already magnificent pieces. The pairing of Bacchus and Ceres creates a harmonious balance between male and female deities, further enhancing their allure. This print captures every intricate detail of these exceptional wine coolers, allowing us to appreciate their craftsmanship from afar. It serves as a reminder that even everyday objects can be transformed into works of art when skillfully crafted by talented artisans like Paul Storr.
