Full Lot Description
A George III silver twin-handled pedestal tea urn, the ovoid body with later engraved armorial, detachable spool shape lid, foliate detailed handles, and bird head spigot, raised on a waisted socle to a shaped square base with foliate pierced apron and shell feet, with floral scroll engraving and gadroon borders throughout. Hallmarked Francis Crump, London 1772. Maximum height 54.5cm, gross weight 76.62ozt (2383.2g).
Ivory exemption submission reference: L5MCC86D
The arms are believed to be of James Arthur TAYLOR (1818-1889) of Strensham Court, Worcestershire, later of Lewes Cresent, Brighton, and his wife Maria Theresa RUSH (1817-1906). Their union in 1843 indicates that the urn was later engraved in the period 1843-1889.
James Arthur TAYLOR was the eldest son and heir of James TAYLOR (1783-1852) High Sherrif of Worcestershire, and Louisa née SKEYE (1795-1822). The family resided at Moseley Hall, which was sold to the Cadbury family after the death of the elder James TAYLOR.
After attending Winchester School and Trinity College Cambridge, James Arthur TAYLOR served as Conservative MP for East Worcestershire 1841-47.
