known in private collections worldwide but it is exceptionally rare to find examples of the first ones that were produced in silver, as is the case of the one now offered for auction.<br \/>\r\nOne silver model was displayed on the sideboard at Apsley House - Wellington\u0092s London palace - and also on the Waterloo Banqueting table, from 1837 to 1851. A John Nash watercolour, now at the Victoria & Albert Museum, painted circa 1852 still depicts the sculpture on the top of the famous banqueting table. It is curious to note that the piece is standing alongside with the magnificent Portuguese silver centrepiece designed by Domingos Sequeira that traditionally was on central display at Waterloo Banquet and still kept at Apsley House.<br \/>\r\nThis equestrian statue of the Duke of Wellington was sculpted by Edmund Cotterill in his early years as chief designer at R & S Garrard.<br \/>\r\nEdmund Cotterill (1795-1860) attended the Royal Academy Schools in 1820 and exhibited at the Academy between 1822 and 1858. Cotterill achieved impressive popularity and is responsible for the imposing reputation that Garrard silver and bronze sculptures achieved during this time.<br \/>\r\nAccording to the \u0093Illustrated London News\u0094 of 1842, Coterill \u0093deservedly stands at the head of the class of artists who model for silversmiths and his production, annually exhibited at Messrs. Garrards, have earned for that house a celebrity wich no other can equal\u0094. <br \/>\r\nDuring this time Garrard produced magnificent sculptures, centrepieces and well-known trophies of sporting events: Ascot, Doncaster, Goodwood Cups and even The America\u0092s Cup in 1848.<br \/>\r\nIn 1840 Prince Albert asked Cotterill to make a model of his greyhound Eos. In 1842\/3 the model was used to make a centrepiece now in exhibition at the Victoria & Albert Museum.<br \/>\r\nRobert Garrard II was one of the most important silversmiths of his time and heir (with his brothers James and Sebastian) of his brilliant father, Robert Garrard I. The firm and name of Garrard deserved royal patronage since the 18th century and achieved the title of Royal Jewellers in 1830 and the unique position as Crown Jewellers in 1843.<br \/>\r\nWe are thankful to Dr Kirstin Kennedy, Curator at the Metalwork Department of the Victoria & Albert Museum<br \/>\r\nJo\u00e3o J\u00falio Teixeira, G.D."}],"tags":"Silver","auction_session":"2","dimensions":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lot\/58774","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lot"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/lot"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/58775"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=58774"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=58774"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
