Edmund Cotterill (1795-1860) ran Garrards' design studio from 1833 and helped establish their reputation for producing elaborate sculptural groups and centrepieces in bronze and silver, with Equestrian, Moorish or Arab themes. He attended the Royal Academy Schools in 1820 and exhibited at the Academy, 1822-1858; at the British Institution, 1832-1855; and at the Suffolk Street Galleries in 1829-1836. According to Illustrated London News Cotterill stood 'at the head of the class of artists who model for silversmiths and his productions, annually exhibited at Messrs Garrard, have earned that house a celebrity which no other can equal'. Cotterill was employed by Prince Albert in 1840 to make a model of his greyhound Eos, which was later used again for a centrepiece produced in 1842/3 and exhibited at the Annual Exhibition of British Manufacturies, now in the Victoria & Albert Museum.
This model of Wellington was originally designed in silver, and was displayed on the sideboard at Wellington's London residence, Apsley House.
