Coffeepot 1712 - 1713

Robert Timbrell's "Coffeepot" (1712-1713) is a stunning example of early 18th-century English silver craftsmanship. The octagonal body, ornate finial, and elegant spout are hallmarks of the period, while the contrasting ebony handle adds a touch of sophistication. This exquisite piece, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases Timbrell's skill as a silversmith and provides a glimpse into the elegance of a bygone era.
