Note du spécialiste

Extant work by Richard Conyers (c.1666-1708/09) is extremely rare. Kane lists just seven works, the cann offered here and its pair, a porringer, three tankards, and a salt cellar, sold from The Estate of Eric Martin Wunsch, Christie's, New York, 20 January 2017, lot 768. Conyers trained in London, became a Freeman of the Goldsmiths' Company in 1697 and emigrated to Boston by 1698 (see P. Kane, Colonial Massachusetts Silversmiths and Jewelers, New Haven, 1998, pp. 334-339).
