THE RUTLAND DESSERT SERVICE AND EDWARD FARRELL
The Rutland dessert service is one of the most extensive produced by Edward Farrell (1779-1850), who almost exclusively worked with the fashionable retailer, Kensington Lewis of St. James's Street, perhaps best known as a supplier to the great 19th century collector Prince Frederick Augustus, Duke of York (1763-1827), whose collection was sold at Christie's in 1827. Farrell's work drew upon disparate styles and subject matter, with a particular affinity for Renaissance and Mannerist prototypes. His inarguable masterpiece, the Hercules and Hydra Centerpiece, was made for the Duke in 1824, sold at Christie's, London, 22-23 March 2017, lot 200, from the de Balkany Collection. In the 1820s, Farrell produced a series of richly chased, silver-gilt sideboard dishes in the Dutch taste, including a pair of 1822, featuring the Victory of Julius Caesar over Pompey at Pharsala and the Miracle of St. Paul and the Serpent at Malta. Another related pair of 1824, engraved with the arms of Fetherstonhaugh, were exhibited at Christie's, The Glory of the Goldsmith: Magnificent Gold and Silver from Al-Tajir Collection of Silver and Gold, 1989, p.199-200.

JOHN HENRY, 5TH DUKE OF RUTLAND
The Duke of Rutland was a well-known silver patron, especially for works in revival styles. He employed the great Gothic Revival architect, James Wyatt (1745-1813) to rebuild the family seat, Belvoir Castle, creating one of the most impressive buildings of the Regency period. To furnish the castle the Duke commissioned an extensive dinner service from Benjamin Smith based upon Frederick, Prince of Wales's mid 18th century Marine Service by Sprimont and Crespin. A set of four entrée dishes from this service, dated 1807, was sold Christie's New York, from the collection of Alan and Simone Hartman, 20 October 1999, lot 178. Other works by Farrell commissioned by the Duke include a pair of fantastical tazze, now in the Fogg Museum, Harvard, (obj. no. 2016.111.1), with a triton astride a turtle as the stem, with a sea anemone above. The bowl has the Manners arms. The border depicts Venus and Neptune in shell chariots pulled by hippocamps.
