Samuel Courtauld I
Samuel Courtauld I ((1720–1765), London silversmith, apprenticed to his father Augustin Courtauld 1734, free 1747. 1st mark entered as largeworker 1746. 2nd mark 1751. He married Louisa Perina Ogier in 1749 and they had 4 daughters and 3 sons of whom the eldest, Samuel II (1752 1821), followed his father into the Goldsmith’s trade. On Samuel I’s death in 1765 his wife Louisa Perina continued the family business and entered her own widow’s mark.
Samuel Courtald I’s work is quite rare as few pieces of his work have survived and Grimwade describes Samuel’s silverwares as “characterised by a mild rococo taste, attractively executed…”.
