專家說明


DAVID WILLAUME
Arthur Grimwade states 'There can be no doubt, on evidence of his surviving work, that Willaume enjoyed the patronage of the wealthiest clients in England from the latter part of the reign of William III to the end of George I's reign' (London Goldsmiths 1697-1837: Their Marks and Lives, London, 1982, p. 704). David Willaume I (1658-1741) was born in Metz, France to goldsmith Adam Willaume, from whom he likely learned his trade. Willaume is recorded as being in London by 1687, with his first mark as a largeworker entered in 1697. His work continued until about 1728 at which point he was succeeded by his son David Willaume II.
