Four-Piece Silver Coffee and Tea Service
Alexander Cameron, William Traves and Thomas Baker
Hallmarked London, 1824

This extraordinary four-piece silver coffee and tea service epitomizes the grandeur of George IV-era dining with a coffee pot, teapot, sugar bowl and creamer. The set represents a collaborative effort by Alexander Cameron, William Traves and Thomas Baker. Each features intricate floral repoussé designs and is adorned with a central scrolling cartouche medallion, engraved with the armorial of a fist and cross, accompanied by the motto Aude et Spera (Dare and Hope). The lavish gilded interiors and ornate motifs reflect the opulent traditions of late Georgian society.

The coffee pot, with its baluster form, features a swan’s-neck spout, domed circular foot and a hinged lid topped with a repoussé pineapple and flowerhead finial. A sturdy C-scroll handle with bone insulators completes its elegant design. The matching teapot, creamer and sugar bowl display ovoid bulbous forms and rest on foliate-chased scroll feet. The remarkable attention to detail and harmonious elements highlight the mastery of Georgian silversmithing.

Alexander Cameron of Dundee was a distinguished figure in Scottish silversmithing, known for his exceptional craftsmanship and design. Partnering with esteemed London silversmiths William Traves and Thomas Baker, this service is a testament to their collaborative expertise and the prominence of silverware as a symbol of social status in the Georgian period. Additionally, this set was a part of the prestigious Red McCombs collection, which has been highly publicized and studied.
