Paul Storr was perhaps the most famous and successful English silversmith working in the early 19th century. This fork and spoon were originally part of a larger set. The exceptionally high quality of the metalworking and gilding of these pieces is typical of Storr's work. Cleveland Museum of Art object 2003.244.2: Dessert Spoon with Hunt Scenes, c. 1822. Paul Storr (British, 1771–1844). Gilt silver; overall: 22.5 x 4.6 x 3.5 cm (8 7/8 x 1 13/16 x 1 3/8 in.). Details are those of this museum object; how far it represents a wider type has not been independently verified.
