Standing cup 1850-51 Jean-Valentin Morel Romantic historicism was one of many nineteenth-century revival styles, and Morel was unsurpassed in his skill in fashioning hard stones, enameling, and an eclectic assortment of decorative motifs into highly refined evocations of seventeenth-century goldsmiths' work. Trained under the pre-Revolution maker of gold boxes Adrien Vachette (act. 1779-1839), Morel is a direct link to the long history of French jewelers and goldsmiths. Morel practiced in Paris for many years before moving to London in 1848, following the adverse settlement of a business dispute (an expatriation that lasted until 1852, when he returned to France). In London he established a workshop staffed by more than fifty craftsmen and enjoyed the patronage of Queen Victoria and the exiled Louis-Philippe. The culmination of Morel's London career was his display at the Great Exhibition of 1851, at which he showed jewelry, silver sculpture, and numerous neo-Renaissance cups. Our exam
