This service provides for ten pieces per 12 place settings with additional serving items.

Lamerie Pattern
This flatware pattern is named in honour of the most important English silversmith Paul De Lamerie. Of Huguenot descent, de Lamerie was born in 1688 and apprenticed to the important silversmith Pierre Platel in 1703. Following his freedom, he entered his first mark at Goldsmiths Hall London in 1713 and from then until his death in 1751 Paul de Lamerie made some of the most important and prestigious piece of silver for both royal and noble clientele.
Paul de Lamerie did not produce a huge amount of silver flatware, but amongst his creations was Hanoverian Thread Shell & Drop pattern which was supplied to the Royal household. In more recent times, this pattern has since been re-named Lamerie Pattern.
