Lot Essay

This waiter is related in form to Fueter's famous salver of 1773 engraved with the arms of the city of New York, now at the New-York Historical Society (illustrated in Martha G. Fales, Early American Silver, New York, 1970, fig. 165, p. 180). Both pieces have a similar sectioned and lobed border with an applied gadrooned edge.
