Lot 194
A pair of George IV silver two handled wine coolers, by Matthew Boulton Plate & Co., Soho, Birmingham 1824, each of half fluted campana form on a knopped pedestal circular foot with shell leaf and gadroon borders, with leaf capped reeded loop handles and old sheffield plate liners, and engraved with a coat of arms and crest, 14.75 cm high, 145oz weighable silver (6) The arms are probably those of Crow of Suffolk and an unrecorded crest. Matthew Boulton was an enterprising businessman. When he inherited his father’s buckle and button business, he decided to expand and, in 1765, the Soho Manufactory was built at a cost of £10,000. In addition to manufacturing Old Sheffield Plate and silverware, he began to produce ormolu, often combining this with Blue John. He was instrumental in the Birmingham assay office being set up in 1773. Until then he had to send silver to be assayed at Chester, some 75 miles away, often resulting in items reappearing at his factory damaged. He was the first to register his mark in Birmingham with John Fothergill, his first business partner. Fothergill had good business connections and helped expand the business abroad and at home. They competed with the London retailers by going directly to the client and undercutting them on price. Some of the designs came from James Wyatt in both silver and Old Sheffield plate. Boulton also was friends with Josiah Wedgwood, together they would go ‘curiosity hunting’ in London, visiting patrons’ collections of classical objects. Such was the success of his business, that at one stage Boulton claimed to employ over 1000 workers and attracted visitors from home and abroad, who would take refreshments after their tour and contribute to the Soho Insurance Society. Boulton established this in 1792 to provide sickness benefits for his workers. In 1775 he set up a partnership with James Watt, the Scottish engineer, and developed the steam engine under patent. He also promoted to partnership the engineer, William Murdock, whose experiments with gas lighting led to the Soho factory being illuminated in 1802. He was interested in natural philosophy and had a telescope mounted on the roof of his home, Soho House. He was the cofounder of the Lunar Society in 1766 and was made a Fellow of the Royal Society. Matthew Boulton died in 1809 and the business was continued by the next generation.
