Teiera, lume e tavolino

1724–25
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 512
Questa imponente teiera e il tavolino furono con ogni probabilità eseguiti per celebrare il matrimonio nel 1724 di George Bowes di Streatham Castle con la ricchissima ereditiera Eleanor Verney. Si trattava di un dono molto costoso, dato che l’audace tripode curvilineo che sostiene il tavolo è d’argento massiccio. È uno dei pochissimi esempi a noi pervenuti, poiché gli arredi in argento di quel periodo furono fusi per recuperare il prezioso metallo. Questo pezzo si distingue per l’elegante profilo barocco, la precisione della fusione e le raffinate incisioni. L’argentiere Simon Pantin era uno dei molti artigiani di ascendenza protestante francese che lavoravano a Londra.
