Context
Emick Romer (active mid-18th century) was a distinguished London silversmith of Norwegian origin, celebrated for his refined rococo ornament and imaginative design. This urn, with its richly chased ornament, dolphin spout, and rare Chinaman finial, exemplifies the exuberance of English rococo silver under George III. Such urns, combining sculptural presence with technical virtuosity, were the centerpiece of aristocratic dining and are now prized as outstanding examples of 18th-century English silver.
