About the Book

This work is an exhibition catalogue for an exhibition of silver marked by Paul de Lamerie. Accompanying a touring exhibition organized by the Brooks Museum, Memphis, and opening at the Victoria & Albert Museum, London in November 2006, this highly illustrated catalogue showcases highlights from Paul Cahn's collection of magnificent silver bearing the mark of the illustrious Huguenot silversmith, Paul de Lamerie. Other pieces marked by de Lamerie's contemporaries are also featured to show the broader context of his work and to give us a deeper understanding of the London trade at the time. The author provides us with new insights into de Lamerie's remarkable success and influence within the London scene.

Review :
"Ellenor Alcorn has neatly ... made the Cahn collection of silver marked by de Lamerie into an illustration of the complexities of authorship in silver ... Tessa Murdoch elegantly sets the scene by describing the Huguenot community in London during the period." Christopher Hartop, The Burlington Magazine; "Ellenor Alcorn [has produced] a lively, up-to-date picture of the interdependence and working relationships of eighteenth-century master silversmiths. The reader gains not only knowledge of de Lamerie as a silversmith and businessman but as a man who was committed to the Huguenot community ... The catalog features beautiful photos and meticulous research for each object and as such is a treat for English silver aficionados." Dorothea Burstyn, Silver Magazine
