Image from: Birmingham Assay Office.
This is one of the finest items designed by Robert Adam in the Neo-classical style which was popularised by Matthew Boulton. He expressed his feeling about the new fashion in his letter to Mrs Montagu in 1776: “I flatter myself its neatness, its simplicity and durability will be more agreeable to you than French finery or dirty richness.”
