Oval dish 1761 - 1762

This oval silver dish, created by Jacques III Rondot between 1761 and 1762, is a stunning example of French Rococo design. The dish's elegant, undulating rim and the engraved coat of arms at the top are characteristic of the period's emphasis on delicate curves and intricate details. Now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the dish offers a glimpse into the refined taste of 18th-century French aristocracy. The piece exemplifies the artistry of Jacques III Rondot, a prominent silversmith who worked during the Rococo era.
