A GEORGE IV SILVER COFFEE POT, PAUL STORR FOR STORR & MORTIMER, LONDON, 1825 baluster, profusely chased in a Rococo style with flowers around the engraved crest of Trotter, cast Rococo spout, leaf-capped chased silver handle 26.5cm high, 985gr (31oz) including ivory insulators Provenance: John Trotter (1757-1833) of Dyrham Park, Hertfordshire. Thence by direct family descent. John Trotter amassed a considerable fortune as an army contractor. "After the peace of 1783 he urged on the government the absurdity and extravagance of selling off all the military stores, only to replace them by new purchases on the occasion of any alarm, and offered to warehouse them in his own premises. This was agreed in 1787. On the outbreak of the French war the business increased enormously, and by 1807 he had established 109 depots, containing supplies insured for 600,000. The storekeepers were all appointed and paid by him; there was no government inspection, and apparently no government audit. The agreement was that he was paid the cost of the stores, plus a percentage to cover expenses and profit. In the hands of an honest and capable man the system worked efficiently, but it was felt to be improper to leave the country dependent on one man or to give one man such vast patronage. In 1807 Sir James Pulteney, then secretary for war, established the office of storekeeper-general, giving Trotter the first nomination to the post and taking into service all his employees. In 1815 Trotter established the Soho bazaar between Soho Square and Oxford Street. Intended at first to enable the distressed widows and daughters of army officers to dispose economically of their home 'work' by renting a few feet of counter, the bazaar eventually proved a source of wealth to its promoter. He was a man of many schemes, some of which led to fortune; others died in their infancy, including one for the establishment of a universal language. He died at Connaught Place, London on 6 September 1833." (J. K. Laughton, 'Trotter, Henry Dundas (1802-1859)', rev. Andrew Lambert, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004) John Trotter purchased Dyrham Park in 1798; apparently the park's entrance archway on the St Albans Road had originally been one of the triumphal arches erected in London by General Monk for Charles II's entry of 1660. The family remained at Dyrham until the house was requisitioned during the Second World War, since when it has become a country club.
