Rare Sterling Silver Nutmeg Grater by Hunt & Roskell, Late Paul Storr & John Mortimer Reference Mortimer & Hunt contined the well established firm founded by Paul Storr. In 1807, Storr entered into an agreement with the retail firm of Royal goldsmiths, Rundell, Bridge & Rundell. Under this agreement, Storr, in partnership with Philip Rundell, John Bridge , Edmund Rundell and William Theed, set up a subsidiary firm of manufacturing silversmiths called Storr & Co. This firm created goods for retailing by Rundell, Bridge & Rundell at itâe(tm)s Ludgate Hill Showrooms. In February 1819 Storr retired from the partnership and re-established himself as a separate business at 17 Harrison Street, Grays Inn Road, w he continued to trade as Storr & Co., working silversmiths. He entered into partnership with John Mortimer in 1822, renaming the firm STORR & MORTIMER . Under their agreement, Storr concentrated on the manufacture of goods for Mortimer to sell in the shop at 13 New Bond Street . Then, c1826, Storrâe(tm)s nephew, John Samuel Hunt, joined the partnership. When Storr retired in December 1838, the firm was renamed MORTIMER & HUNT , its partners being John Mortimer, John Samuel Hunt and his son, John Hunt. Under this new partnership, John Samuel Hunt entered his first set of marks ISH (in a similar indented punch to the previous PS mark) at Goldsmithsâe(tm) Hall on 17th January 1839. Meanwhile the firm relocated its shop to 156 New Bond Street , its manufactory remaining at 17 Harrison Street , and on 30th December 1839 entered a new set of marks IM & ISH (with and without a crown above). Upon John Mortimerâe(tm)s retirement in December 1843, John Samuel Hunt and John Hunt entered into partnership with Robert Roskell and Charles Frederick Hancock, changing the firmâe(tm)s name to HUNT & ROSKELL , thus the firm of MORTIMER & HUNT lasted for just five years.
