Set of four dishes 1745 - 1746

Paul de Lamerie, a prominent silversmith, created this set of four octagonal silver dishes between 1745 and 1746. Each dish is meticulously crafted with a raised, rounded rim and a delicate, repeating decorative pattern along the edge. The intricate design and high quality of the silverwork exemplify the craftsmanship of the Rococo era. This set of dishes, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to the artistic skill and refined taste of 18th-century England.
