Background- 

Designed for Rundell, Bridge & Rundell: They are attributed to a design by William Bateman II specifically for the prestigious London firm of Rundell, Bridge & Rundell. This firm was the Principal Royal Goldsmiths & Jewellers from 1804 to 1843, serving four monarchs: George III, George IV, William IV, and Victoria. Their clientele included the British aristocracy and European royalty. The fact that this piece was created for such a renowned firm speaks to its quality and the fashionable taste of the era.

Swans were a popular decorative motif in the late Regency and early Victorian eras, symbolizing grace, beauty, and purity. Their inclusion in decorative arts reflected the romantic sensibilities of the time.

Owning a piece created for or by Rundell, Bridge & Rundell connects the owner to a significant period in British history and decorative arts. The firm was known for its opulence and employed talented designers and silversmiths, including the celebrated Paul Storr for a time. Their creations were often grand and reflected the neoclassical tastes of the Regency era, later incorporating naturalistic and historicist styles.
