Pair of sauceboats 1742

This pair of silver sauceboats, crafted by renowned silversmith Paul de Lamerie in 1742, showcases the refined elegance of 18th-century English design. The graceful, scalloped rims and delicate, scroll-shaped handles complement the sturdy, three-legged base, suggesting both sophistication and practicality. These sauceboats, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, exemplify de Lamerie's mastery of form and function, making them prized examples of Rococo-era silverware.
