But even that long ago, I would never EVER have dreamed of owning a de Lamerie. What I didn't remember was that De Lamerie’s father was a minor aristocrat and on reaching the Netherlands, became an army officer in the service of William of Orange. Nor did I remember that Platel came from an aristocratic family. Must get back to more silver art in my blog :) I have an article on Jewish silver scheduled for the 21/4/10. Thanks for a beaut article.
