This firm was established as the successor by the renowned silversmith Paul Storr who had left Rundell, Bridge & Rundell in order to start his own workshop on Harrison Street near Clerkenwell in 1819.
Due to an eventual and evolving partnership with none less than John Mortimer, John Samuel Hunt, Robert Roskell Jn. the name came to be altered multiple times with the name Hunt & Roskell being hallmarked and stamped on this salver.
