A PAIR OF VICTORIAN PARCEL-GILT-SILVER AND ENAMEL `GRAECO-POMPEIAN` 1862 INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION WINE COOLERS, ELKINGTON & CO, BIRMINGHAM, 1862 designed by Auguste Adolphe Willms £1,400 Part of it can be seen in Waring`s Masterpieces of Industrial Art and Sculpture at the International Exhibition 1862, (see illustration), where he comments on the "judicious combination of coloured enamels with silver, and a degree of artistic finish which are not too often found even in the best works of this class." Later Elkington`s went on to make a number of production models of the service, including a silver table garniture set in 1864 (see Christie`s, London, 10 June 2010, lot 388) and a variety of pieces from the set in electroplate (see Sotheby`s, London, 28 May 2009, lot 448 and 31 October 2006, lot 537). All the later wine coolers appear to differ in one important respect from the pair offered here: the lobed flat shoulders are circular and do not extend out over the handles. One assumes the design was simplified slightly for the later p oduction models. This design difference, the assay date of the coolers and the fact that they were acquired directly from Elkington`s in 1898 (who may perhaps have kept them in stock since the `62 Exhibition and who remembered that they were specifically made for an International Exhibition), suggests that these present coolers are almost certainly from the original set exhibited in 1862 at the International Exhibition in South Kensington. A.A. Willms trained as a modeller and engraver at the studios of Klagman, Dieterle and Constant in Paris. Although primarily a sculptor, Klagmann also commanded tremendous prices for his silver designs; it was to one of Klagmann`s clients, the French émigré silversmiths Morel & Co., recently established in London, that the young Willms decamped during the Paris revolts of 1848 Having assisted Jean-Valentin Morel in preparing for the Great Exhibition of 1851, Willms returned to France in time to contribute to the Christofle, Paillard, and Froment-Meurice displays for the 1 55 Paris Exhibition. His reputation now well established, Willms was hired by Elkington & Co. to create a service for the Duke of Brabant, and, from 1857, to direct the company`s designs.
