A little about Andrew Fogelberg

Andrew Fogelberg was born in the year 1732 and died about 1815. In the 1770s, he was already active and established in Church Street, London in the 1770s. His silver workshop was near that of the gem engraver and modeller James Tassie (1735-1799). It was documented that Andrew Fogelberg probably relied directly on Tassie's glass paste reproductions of classical gemstones for his models. Fogleberg's is known for his fine quality work done in the high neo-classical style of the era and had made silver pieces which can be distinguished by its high quality of workmanship and an elegant, restrained classicism. This probably influenced young Paul Storr at that time.
