EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of the George II coffee pot, created in 1738 by renowned silversmith Paul de Lamerie. Standing at a height of 23.7 cm, this silver masterpiece is currently held in a private collection. The Lequesne coffee-pot, as it is also known, features a spirally-fluted pear-shaped body resting on three intricately designed shell and acanthus foliage feet. Each foot bears a cast and chased panel depicting a serene putto within a picturesque landscape, holding two clasping coffee bush branches. The short spout of the coffee pot is adorned with an enchanting mask emerging from delicate coffee bush branches and flowers, surrounded by scrolls and rosette trellis motifs. Two bird's head and scroll cartouches add further elegance to its design. The hinged waisted cover boasts beautifully chased panels of flowers against a matted background, separated by applied panelled scrolls and acanthus foliage. The iammiform finial atop the lid displays three shells above meticulously crafted scrolls. Adding to its allure is the asymmetrical carved wood handle with an upper terminal shaped like a lion mask and lower terminal featuring intricate foliage casting. With its impeccable details and remarkable weight of 34 oz. 12 dwt. , this George II coffee pot exemplifies Lamerie's exceptional skill as one of Britain's finest silversmiths during the eighteenth century.
