Antique Rococo Style Silver
December 3rd, 2009
THE ROCOCO STYLE
The formal, classical designs of the French Regence period (approximately 1700-25) were superseded by the Rococo style which again originated in France and involved the use of highly elaborate asymmetrical
ornament based on natural forms and incorporating rock, shell, plant and marine motifs.
One of the greatest exponents of this extravagant decoration was Juste-Aurele Meissonnier (1695-1750). Born in Turin, he moved to Paris and was admitted to the goldsmiths’ guild in 1725. The only known piece which has survived bearing his mark is a gold snuff box with Paris hallmarks for 1728, but a number of his engravings for designs in silver are in existence ; one example is the candlestick reproduced. A three-light
candelabrum after this engraving, by Claude Duvivier, Paris, 1734-35, is in the Mus6e des Arts Decoratifs, Paris.
Other Parisian silversmiths of world fame are Thomas Germain and his son, Francois-Thomas, who produced some of the most remarkable creations in this style. As a large proportion of 18th-century French silver was destroyed during the Revolution of 1789, it was fortunate for posterity that both father and son worked for the kings of Portugal. A most extensive collection by these makers which has been preserved is in the Museo National de Arte Antiga, Lisbon. A visit to this museum convinces one of the superb craftsmanship displayed by these makers. Thomas Germain held apartments in the Louvre as well as a separate shop in Paris and employed a large staff. He was obviously a prolific maker, but of the relatively small number of pieces of his work which have survived some bear his son’s mark, making identification difficult. It appears that when Francois-Thomas inherited his father’s position at the age of twenty-two he stamped his mark on a number of his father’s works. Francois-Thomas, who benefited from his father’s skill and reputation, came to a disastrous end through extravagance. He was declared bankrupt in 1765 and consequently lost his royal appointments. He died in obscurity in 1791.
Another notable Parisian silversmith, Jacques Roettiers, who was apprenticed to Germain, and another royal gold-Salver by Paul de Lamerie. London 1737
ship. His success is recorded by the number of pieces still in existence in livery companies, museums and private collections. His early works were either in the Queen Anne style or the French Regence manner, but he later developed the asymmetrical designs associated with the Rococo style.
The four pieces illustrated have been taken from the later period, when his finest works were produced. The first, a sideboard dish of 1736, has a border applied and chased with emblems of the Four Elements
interspersed with fish and shells, all linked with garlands of flowers and alternating with grotesque masks at the rim. The centre is applied with a contemporary coat of arms within a cartouche echoing the ornament on
the rim. This piece represents the heavy cast and applied work at which de Lamerie excelled.
The salver of 1737 illustrates another mode of decoration, displaying engraving and flat chasing. A band of rocaille motifs and scrolls appears below the matching fluted rim, and the centre is engraved with a monogram within a typical asymmetrical cartouche.
One of his stock and the other of his tools, patterns and shop fittings, but the sale catalogues have not been discovered. In his will de Lamerie stated that his journeyman, Samuel Collins, was to be paid a certain sum
on condition that Collins fnished plate already in hand, which was then to be sold. Why these pieces made in 1738 should be overstruck with Garden’s mark is difficult to explain. Perhaps they were bought at the auction by Garden and, acting as a retailer, he felt entitled to use his own mark.
The last piece by de Lamerie, a coffee jug of 1747, is in comparison with the other pieces simple in design. If it were not for the well-modelled butterfly finial and delicate leafage at the spout and handle sockets, it
could be by any other English silversmith of the period. Throughout his working life de Lamerie wrought pieces of plain design but obviously his skill in applied ornament and other forms of decoration brought to English silver a standard which has not been surpassed in this country.

Set of three casters in sizes by Paul de Lamerie. 1738
The controversy as to whether armorials and their accompanying cartouches were executed by the silversmiths or were farmed out to engravers will probably continue, but the engraving and other decoration on works by de Lamerie executed at the height of his career are so similar in design that it is quite probable they were carried out in his workshop.
The set of three casters of 1738 contains a variety of decoration, yet there is sufficient restraint to allow the ornament to be appreciated. On the body the applied masks with feather headdress alternate with foliate
swags. The bases are pierced between scale and shell motifs; the covers display piercing and engraving of diaperwork above scroll panels enclosing cornucopias.
These casters are overstruck with the maker’s mark of Phillips Garden, who is reputed to have purchased patterns and dies belonging to de Lamerie after his death. We do know, from the research of Philip A. S. Phillips in his book The Life and Work of Paul de Lamerie, that two auctions did take place.
