Details
A PAIR OF GEORGE III SILVER WINE-COOLERS AND COLLARS
MARK OF PAUL STORR, LONDON, 1800
Each pail form, tapering cylindrical, with applied horizontal hoops, and two open handles, the detachable collars with gadrooned rims, the detachable liners with silver-plated rims and interiors, each body and collar engraved with a crest below an earl's coronet, each marked on base and collar
7½ in. (19.1 cm.) high
98 oz. (3,043 gr.)
The crest and coronet is presumably that of Talbot, presumably for Charles Chetwynd-Talbot, 2nd Earl Talbot of Hensol (1777-1849). Talbot was the son of John Chetwynd Talbot, 1st Earl Talbot of Hensol (1750-1793), and his wife, Charlotte (d. 1804), daughter of Wills Hill, 1st Marquess of Downshire.
Talbot succeeded to the peerage on the death of his father in May 1793 and matriculated from Christ Church, Oxford the following year. After leaving Oxford Talbot joined Lord Whitworth's embassy in Russia as a voluntary attaché, returning to England before 1800, when he married Frances Thomasine, eldest daughter of Charles Lambert of Beau Parc in co. Meath. in 1800, the year of the present coolers, suggesting they were made to celebrate the marriage.
Talbot was heavily involved in the organizing of a volunteer force for Staffordshire to see off a possible invasion by the French under Napoleon. In 1817 he became Lord Lieutenant of Ireland and, until he was replaced in 1821, he rendered considerable services to the agriculture of the country, in recognition of which he was presented with the freedom of Drogheda. From 1812 until his death Talbot also served as Lord Lieutenant of the Staffordshire.
Talbot died at Ingestre Hall in Staffordshire in 10 January 1849 and was buried at Ingestre, being succeeded by his second son, Henry John Chetwynd who also became 18th Earl of Shrewsbury when he succeeded a distant cousin, in 1856. (2)
