This display reveals the brilliant craftsmanship of Paul de Lamerie (1688-1751), the greatest silversmith working in England in the 18th century, and his craftsman, known as the Maynard Master.  The V&A's outstanding collection of silver is showcased alongside masterpieces from the collection of Sir Arthur Gilbert, including a lavishly decorated salver, a lion mask (one of the signature elements of the Maynard Master), and the Maynard Dish, the piece that marked the first appearance of the artistic personality responsible for de Lamerie's most ambitious commissions
