His earliest works were in a restrained neoclassical style, but such was the quality of his work that soon after 1800 he began working, apparently exclusively, for Rundell Bridge and Rundell - the royal goldsmiths, after which his work was executed in the firm's elaborate house style. Another very important piece of note was the Battle of the Nile Cup, made as a presentation to Nelson, bearing a date letter for 1799, and weighing 238 troy ounces.
In 1801 Storr married a childhood friend, Elizabeth Beyer, who was to bear him ten children, who in turn were to provide him with an amazing 54 gandchildren!
In 1811 he became a partner of Rundell's and moved his workshops to Dean Street. Orders for presentation and ceremonial silver from corporations and distinguished families began a prolific period in his career and many important items of high quality were made. He left the firm in 1819 and turned to the execution of more naturalistic designs. A partnership started in 1822 with John Mortimer, a Bond Street retailer, was far from financially or temperamentally ideal but was maintained until 1838, when Storr retired to Tooting, where he lived until his death.
