There are a number of variants of these armorial bearings being borne by king families. Very often the lion is of a different tincture but the field of the shield is invariably remains ‘sable’. Similar arms and crest were recorded by sir edward bysshe, clarenceux king of arms in his visitation of the county of kent of 1663 to the family of king, of bromley. The tinctures of both arms and crest of king, of bromley were slightly different to those engraved upon this tureen in that the visitation family’s arms were ‘sable a lion rampant ermine between three crosses paty fitchy or’ 1 and the crest ‘a lion’s gamb erect and erased sable holding a cross paty fitchy or’(see illustration below).

Today his legacy of exceptionally well crafted silver, found worldwide in museums and private collections, leaves one in awe when compared to that of his contemporaries.after having served a seven year apprenticeship from the age of 14, he began his career in 1792 when he went into a brief partnership with william frisbee. This did not last and in 1793 a new mark, (his initials ‘p s’) was entered. By the beginning of the nineteenth century he had established himself as one of london’s top silversmiths producing, amongst others, commissions for royalty. In 1801 he married elizabeth susanna beyer with whom he was to have ten children. In 1807 paul storr entered into a working relationship with philip rundell and by 1811 was a partner, and managing the workshops for rundell, bridge & rundell. During this period he kept his own marks and separate workshop. However it was through rundell, bridge & rundell who were appointed goldsmith in ordinary to george iii in 1804 that his reputation as a master silversmith grew. His talents lay in being able to transform ideas and designs from rundell, bridge & rundell’s designers, william theed ii, the chief modeller and head of the design department, and later john flaxman ii who succeeded him in 1817. During this period rundell, bridge & rundell’s reputation grew due to the patronage of the prince regent (later george iv). less
