專家說明
The present dishes are additions, ordered in anticipation of a state visit to his German kingdom by King George IV of England in 1821, to a magnificent neo-Classical silver dinner-service made mostly by Robert-Joseph Auguste. Examples from the original service can be found in the Rothschild Collection at Waddesdon, the Louvre Museum, Paris and the Getty Museum, Los Angeles. The history of the service, previously called the Herrenhausen Service, is discussed in detail by Lorenz Seelig in 'The King George III silver service by Robert-Joseph Auguste and Frantz-Peter Bundsen: goldsmiths' art in the neoclassical style in Paris, London and Hanover', Silver Society of Canada, 2010, Vol. 13 pp. 44-91.
