Description original text :  original text (Automatic translation)
A splendid set of four George II-period silver cauldron saltcellars by Paul de Lamerie, one of the most legendary names in English silver. De Lamerie's remarkable Rococo design incorporates a dramatic shell motif, and the cellars' bellied form bodies are born on hoof feet and bear gilt interiors. Undoubtedly crafted for a member of the aristocracy, each salt features an engraved lion rampant armorial and coronet on the underside. De Lamerie's reputation for creating some of the finest Georgian silver ever made is unrivaled. These beautiful salts stand as a testament to de Lamerie's prodigious talent and celebrated eye for sophistication. An almost identical set is in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, and another was sold at Sotheby's New York as part of the Jaime Ortiz-Patino Collection in 1998.

Hallmarked London, 1741-42

5.5 ounces each

Deftly innovative in his use of ornamentation, de Lamerie represents the vanguard of 18th-century silver artistry, and remains one of the only silversmiths remembered by name rather than by craft. Numerous museums and decorative art collections boast pieces by de Lamerie, including London's Victoria & Albert Museum, the Royal Museum of Scotland (Edinburgh), London Goldsmith's Company, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Art Institute of Chicago and The Frick Collection in New York.
