Mortimer & Hunt was a London silversmiths firm founded in 1822 by Paul Storr and John Mortimer. Storr was one of the most celebrated silversmiths of his day, and his work was known for its fine craftsmanship and elegant design. Mortimer was a jeweller and merchant who brought business acumen to the partnership.

The firm was initially known as Storr & Mortimer, and it quickly became one of the leading silversmiths in London. In 1826, John Samuel Hunt, Storr's nephew, joined the partnership. Hunt brought with him a significant amount of investment capital, which helped the firm to expand its operations.

Storr retired from the firm in 1839, and the name was changed to Mortimer & Hunt. The firm continued to be successful under this name, and it was awarded the Royal Warrant of Queen Victoria in 1842.

In 1843, John Mortimer retired from the firm, and it was more... renamed Hunt & Roskell. The new partners were John Samuel Hunt, his son John Hunt, and Robert Roskell. The firm continued to be successful under this name, and it remained in business until the late 1960s.

Mortimer & Hunt was known for its high-quality silverwork, which was often decorated with intricate engraving and gilding. The firm produced a wide range of silver objects, including tea sets, coffee sets, dinnerware, candlesticks, and jewellery. Its work was exhibited at major international exhibitions, including the Great Exhibition of 1851.

The firm's silverwork is still highly prized today, and it is often found in museum collections. Some of the most famous pieces of Mortimer & Hunt silverwork include the Queen's Jubilee Vase (1887) and the Prince of Wales's Coronation Cup (1902).

The history of Mortimer & Hunt is a fascinating one, and it provides a glimpse into the world of Victorian silversmithing. less...
