Note du spécialiste

Born in Hackensack, New Jersey, Peter Van Dyck (1684 - c. 1751) was apprenticed in 1700 to New York silversmith Bartholomew Le Roux. Van Dyck married Bartholomew's daughter Rachel in 1711, further tying him to the Le Roux family of French Huguenot silversmiths, whose clients included some of the wealthiest families in colonial New York.
