Pair of salvers on pedestal feet 1720

This pair of salvers, crafted in 1720 by renowned silversmith Paul de Lamerie, exemplifies the elegance of the Georgian period. The salvers, each featuring a distinctive pedestal base, display a remarkable attention to detail with their smooth, polished surfaces and understated ornamentation. The intricate crest engraved on one of the salvers hints at the importance of this object within a grand household. These pieces are a testament to de Lamerie’s mastery of the silversmith’s art and are now proudly displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
