This model was produced by Paul de Lamerie between 1731 and 1749 and is illustrated in E. Alcorn, Beyond the Maker's Mark, Paul de Lamerie Silver in the Cahn Collection, Cambridge, 2006, p. 83. The form combines elements of the French Régence, after the designs Jean Bérain (1637-1711), with Rococo forms.
