No. 564857.The Cult of BacchusCapturing the imagination of artists, writers and philosophers in the 18th century, the fascination in the 'modern myth' taken from the classical mythology contemplated the opposing tensions between rationality and irrationality. In Greco-Roman mythology, Apollo and Dionysus or Bacchus are both sons of Zeus, the former being the god of the sun and of rational thinking and order, appealing to logic, prudence and purity, the later being being the god of wine and dance and irrationality and chaos, appealing to emotion and instinct.LiteratureJ.

A pair of George III / IV silver wine coolersPhilip Rundell, London 1819 / 1822 Campana form, with removable liners and collars, the handles formed as entwined vine branches stretching upwards to applied fruiting vine ornament, the bases with gadrooning, engraved with the arms and crests of Sir Robert Howe Bromley, the rim of foot impressed 'Rundell Bridge et Rundell Aurifices Regis Londini', height 26cm, weight 215.5oz. (2)Footnotes:ProvenanceChristie, Manson & Woods, London, Highly Important Old English Silver: property of Sir Rupert Bromley, 9th Bt., 29th November 1961, lot 23.Sir Robert (1778-1857) was 3rd Baronet Bromley of East Stoke, succeeding his father, Sir George Smith, afterwards Bromley, in 1808. After entering the Navy in 1791 Sir Robert worked his way up through the ranks, becoming Vice-Admiral of the Red in 1848, of the Blue in 1851 and of the White in 1854.The difference in the hallmark dates can be explained by the numbers stamped on the various components of the wine coolers. The pieces hallmarked for 1819 are numbered either 1 or 2, and the pieces hallmarked for 1822 are stamped 3 or 4. This suggests Sir Robert bought a second pair in the same design three years after the first, and the various parts have since been mismatched.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Designs for related urns with carved pedestals were published by George Hepplewhite in his 'The Cabinet Maker and Upholsterers Guide, third edition, 1794, pl.35&36.Sideboard pedestals and urns became fashionable in the 1760s. The pedestals themselves provide extra storage and often contained a plate warmer or cellaret drawer. The urns were normally lined to hold either iced water or water for rinsing cutlery in the dining room. Sheraton wrote in his Cabinet-Makers' and Upholsterers' Encyclopeodia (1805) that 'Pedestals with vases at each end of the sideboard, one was used as a plate warmer, while the other sometimes contained a cellaret for wine while the vases 'are used for water for the use of the butler, and sometimes made of copper japanned, but generally of mahogany'.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TPTP Lot will be moved to an offsite storage location (Cadogan Tate, Auction House Services, 241 Acton Lane, London NW10 7NP, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.
