This understated tea set, with its spare teapot, sugar urn, and helmet-shaped milk pot, is typical of many American Neoclassical tea sets of the 1790s to 1810s, the body of the teapot and its domed cover were constructed from rolled silver. Although its companion pieces have raised bodies, they are supported by pedestal feet and plinth-like stands assembled from sheet silver. The cipher "J M A H" identifies the original owners of the tea set, John A. Hardenbrook (1761-1832) and Mary Aymar (1763-1838), who married in 1787. The inclusion of each of the couple's initials suggests that the tea set may have been a gift to commemorate their marriage. Hardenbrook was a prominent New York broker and one of the twenty-four signatories of the 1792 Buttonwood Agreement, which led to the establishment of the New York Stock Exchange.
Provenance:
John A. Hardenbrook (1761-1832) and his wife Mary Aymar (1763-1838); probably inherited by their daughter Rebecca M. Hardenbrook (1791-1859), who married Hyder Somarindyck (b. 1786); probably passed to their son John William Somarindyck (1815-1896); to his cousin Benjamin Crane Hardenbrook (ca. 1838-1900), who married Laura G. Wild (1855-after 1930); to their daughter Louise Hardenbrook (1881-1971), the donor.
