Impressive George IV silver gilt, Campana shaped vase and cover by John Edward Terrey, London 1824, (marked on the cup, the cover and the finial), approx. 5,667 grms, 182 ozs, 46 cms high x 24 cms wideDetailed description; The cup has a broad band of classical decoration with horses, chariots, lions, a trumpeter and figures dancing in Bacchic revelry beneath a band of vines and grapes, two handles with mask terminals and with a band of acanthus, on a round foot with a band of vines and grapes, the cover with egg and dart border and a vine and grape finial.Inscription; The foot has an engraved presentation inscription Robert Sutton Esq., in testimony of the esteem and in acknowledgement of his gratuitous services as manager of that Institution since its foundation May 18 1801, Stock Exchange July 19 1824, unanimously voted by the proprietors.The maker biographical note;John Edward Terry entered a maker’s mark at Goldsmiths Hall in 1814 from Foster Lane in partnership with Samuel Hennell and 1816 alone at the same address. Christening records for two sons at St John, Hackney in 1816 and 1817 show their mother as Susannah Hennell, their address as Clapton Fields and their father John Edward Terrey as first a merchant and then as a gentleman. He notified Goldsmiths Hall in 1818 that he had changed his address to Hatton Gardens.A further six christenings of children of John Edward and Susannah Hennell Terrey at St Andrew, Holborn 1819-31 show their address as Hatton Gardens and their father as a merchant. The same information as to address and father’s occupation is shown on the christening records of a further two children at St Giles in the Fields in 1833 and for two further children back at St Andrews in 1836-37. The 1841 UK Census and his daughter Susannah Elizabeth’s marriage record in 1842 show him as a silversmith at Hatton Garden. By 1851 he had moved to Sydenham, Lewisham in Kent.The England & Wales Deaths Index for the Lewisham register shows his death in 1859. Provenance;This cup is sent in for sale by a descendant, having been in the ownership of the family since its original presentation. In recent times it has languished un-displayed in the vendor's house. Biography of Robert SuttonRobert Sutton, a stockbroker, of Finsbury Place, London, purchased Rossway, a large country house in Northchurch, Hertfordshire, in 1802, enlarging the estate to 570 acres by the time of his death in 1848. The estate was sold in 1863 to Charles Stanton Hadden, a coffee planter operating in Ceylon, who demolished the original house and built a replacement, which was completed in 1867. It remained in the Hadden family until 1998 when it was acquired by Khoo Kay Peng of the MUI Group, majority stakeholders in Laura Ashley.Robert Sutton was Master of the Mercers Company in 1817. His son Robert (c.1806-63) was Master in 1837 and 1842; his son James (c.1802-63) in 1847, and his youngest son Wadham Locke Sutton (1815-96) in 1858.The Mercers Company is the premier Livery Company and ranks first of the 12 City Livery Companies of the City of London. It was founded in 1394.On May 18, 1801, when William Hammond Esq, chairman of the Committee of Managers, laid the first stone of what was to become the Stock Exchange, at Capel Court, in London, one of those in attendance was his fellow manager Robert Sutton. There were ten managers in all and the concept of the exchange was to provide a place for “the transaction of business in the public funds”.The building was completed on December 30, when the words The Stock Exchange were incised on the entrance.During its first years there were no set rules, but in February 1812 the General Purpose Committee confirmed a set of recommendations that later became the foundation of the codified set or rules of the Exchange.Though increasingly influential as a City institution, the Exchange suffered continuous criticism from the press and the public. Nonetheless, having bankrolled the British Government through the Napoleonic Wars, it then provided a stable platform from which to trade foreign securities as the Empire grew.Robert Sutton, who was still in office in 1824, and had been Master of the Mercers Company in 1817, was Upper Warden of the Company in 1838 when he was involved in the foundation ceremony for the rebuilding of the Royal Exchange. Sutton was deputed to carry the glass bottle into which coins were to be deposited before Prince Albert placed it in the foundations and laid the first stone on top of it. The coins within the bottle came from the Mercers Company and the City, the two corporations financing the building.Sutton was again present in 1844 for the completion of the building and he died four years later in 1848.Notes on the vase and cover; An admiration for the Greco-Roman taste coincided with the Age of Enlightenment, when artists and intellectuals attempted to reform society's aesthetics and beliefs using reason, scientific fact and history. Through this movement, wealthy individuals gained exposure to Europe's cultural legacy of Classical antiquity. Architects, artisans and designers of that era naturally applied these design influences to their contemporary visions. Many domestic articles were modelled in the manner of, or decorated after, some object of significance from the classical past. As has been done for this presentation piece. Silversmiths like Terrey extrapolated on the ideas of Giovanni Piranesi, John Flaxman, William Theed and others to create their own unique pieces. Similar large pieces of silver were produced by Paul Storr; Benjamin Smith II; and Rundell, Bridge & Rundell; The decoration here is styled in the Antique campaña form based on the Medici vase as engraved by G.B. Piranesi.. Wear to gilding and decoration throughout and some pitting. Vase marks rubbed but legible. General wear and loss of detail to the high points of the decoration consistent with age and use.Cover - dents to inner rim. Where the cover has been dropped the central finial with bunch of grapes has been pushed in. Two possible repaired splits to rim of cover. Cover marks clear. Vase - Large dent to rim and rim bent out of shape. Foot rim also dented and bent. Possible start of a split where the fluted foot joins the next section above. Probably re-gilded.
