His work encompassed both solid silver and plated wares. These dishes have the substantial presence expected of fine French tableware intended for formal entertaining and grand dining. Their combination of richly worked surfaces, heraldic engraving and heavy, sculptural handles gives them the appearance and presence of much more costly solid silver while retaining the practicality of silver plate.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\u003eAn impressive pair for a French château-inspired table, country house dining room or collector’s table, they would be beautiful surrounded by antique French faïence, blue-and-white ceramics, crystal and additional silver.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eProvenance \u0026amp; Collectors Notes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\u003eThe undersides are stamped VEYRAT À PARIS and PETERS, together with numbered French silver-plating marks, including 77 and 24.
