专家说明

This pair of waiters, fully hallmarked and each with the maker's mark of Paul de Lamerie originally formed a set of four waiters as listed in the 1847 Garrard inventory, together with one example struck with Paul de Lamerie's maker's mark struck four times only and another example unmarked. The latter two waiters were sold in Two Regency Collectors, Philip John Miles and George Byng (1815-45), Christie's, London, 9 June 2005, lot 26.
