Lamerie, Paul de

    0.02 sec.

Lamerie, Paul de

(born April 9, 1688, 's Hertogenbosch, Neth.—died Aug. 1, 1751, London, Eng.) Dutch-born British silversmith. His Huguenot parents had left France in the early 1680s and settled in England by 1691. After an apprenticeship with a London goldsmith, he registered his mark and opened a shop in 1713. Early in his career he made simple vessels such as tankards and teapots in an unadorned Queen Anne style; later he used more ornamentation. By the 1730s he had established his own version of the Rococo style, seen in a 1737 cup with handles in the form of snakes.
