On March 4, 1769, Epes Sargent II ordered this coffeepot from the Boston silversmith Paul Revere. Their interaction is recorded in one of Revere’s daybooks: Sargent supplied most of the silver, and Revere charged him four pounds for making the pot, sixteen shillings for adding the engraving, and four pence for sourcing and attaching the wooden handle. Aside from being particularly well documented, this coffeepot is one of the few pieces of colonial silver to retain its original handle. The swelled belly, scrolling spout and handle, and stepped lid demonstrate Revere’s growing knowledge of the exuberant rococo style that was newly fashionable among Boston’s elite. The masterfully engraved arms, surrounded by an asymmetrical cartouche, represent both the Sargent and Osborne families. Epes Sargent II was a merchant based in Gloucester, Massachusetts, and married to Catherine Osborne, the daughter of John Osborne of Boston. Impaled arms, which combine two families’ arms side by side in a single design, are rare in American silver, and their use on this coffeepot suggests that Osborne brought considerable means to the marriage.
