English: The Jerningham Wine Cooler, electrotype (silver on copper core). Birmingham, 1884 (original London, 1734-5). Elkington and Company.
This is a Victorian copy of a celebrated 18th century silver cooler. The original was commissioned by Henry Jernegan (Jerningham), a London goldsmith-banker, who wanted to create the largest ever wine cooler celebrating the pleasures of wine. He employed the sculptor John Michael Rysbrack to model the Bacchanalian scenes on the bowl, the crouching panthers beneath and the satyr handles. It took the German silversmith Charles Frederick Kandler four years to make and weighed 8,000 os. In 1737, Jernegan offered the cooler as a lottery price to raise funds for a new bridge over the Thames at Westminster. Silver medals were sold as lottery tickets about five or six shillings each. The winner, Major William Battine of East Marden in Sussex, appears to have sold the cooler to the regent Anna Leopoldovna of Russia in 1738. Since 1743 the cooler has been in the Hermitage, St. Petersburg. |
