Specialist note

The present two plateaux 'Bouret' are from a service acquired by M. Jacques Dumoulin, a marchand-bijoutier in Paris, during the first half of 1774. Matching baskets were acquired the following year. See David Peters, Sèvres Plates and Services of the 18th Century, 2005, vol. II, no. 74-6.
