The following two items of blue Chinese porcelain (lots 220 - 221) may have been mounted in ormolu by the Pall Mall firm of Vulliamy & Son. The firm, started in the 1730s by François Justin Vulliamy (1712-1797) was headed in the early 19th Century by the Royal Clockmaker Benjamin Vulliamy (1747-1811), with his eldest son, Benjamin Lewis (1780-1854) as junior partner, and was expanding its interests into the production of a wide range of decorative objects in ormolu, bronze and marble. These objects were usually designed by the Vulliamys themselves in the latest Empire or proto-Regency taste, drawing on their extensive library of books on art and architecture, and were then made under the careful supervision of the independent specialists they had used to manufacture the cases of their ornamental clocks. The majority of customers for such articles were the nobility, led by the Prince of Wales himself, whose access to the traditional suppliers of such luxury goods in Paris had been largely cut off by the war with France.
