Although of fine quality, they are of interest mainly for their superb engraving, which places them in a small group of plate made by Charles Kandler between 1730 and 1732.\r\n\r\nWhen the Catholic King Louis XIV revoked the Edict of Nantes in 1685, Huguenots (French Protestants) were forced to leave the country. Many were craftsmen who settled in London.  Their technical skills and fashionable French style ensured the luxury silver, furniture, watches and jewellery they made were highly sought after.  Huguenot specialists transformed English silver by introducing higher standards of craftsmanship. They promoted new forms, such as the soup tureen and sauceboat, and introduced a new repertoire of ornament, with cast sculptural details and exquisite engraving.\r\n\r\nSir Arthur Gilbert and his wife Rosalinde formed one of the world's great decorative art collections, including silver, mosaics, enamelled portrait miniatures and gold boxes.  Arthur Gilbert donated his extraordinary collection to Britain in 1996.","physicalDescription":"Silver-gilt salver of shaped circular form, on three pad-and-scroll feet, with a molded border chased with vines and alternating bacchant and satyr masks. A band of scrolls, foliage, cornucopias and trelliswork on punched matted ground is flat-chased around the border. The chased design incorporates a cipher and a crest and coronet, each engraved three times; in the centre is engraved the coat of arms for William Fitzroy, 3rd Duke of Cleveland (1697-1774).","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Kandler, Charles","id":"A8566"},"association":{"text":"maker","id":"AAT251917"},"note":"Charles Kandler is believed to have come from Dresden and may be the brother of Johann Joachim Kändler (June 15, 1706 – May 18, 1775) who worked as the most important modeller of the Meissen porcelain manufactury. from 1731 until his death in 1775.
