Antique Sterling Silver Lamerie Pattern

The Lamerie pattern, otherwise known as Thread, Shell, and Teardrop, was made consistently from the 1730s onward, making it one of the first decorative patterns made on a wide scale. It has some appealing and unusual features to it which are adapted from picture back spoons, and combines the elegance of Old English pattern with a bit of weight and visual interest. Browse these listings as a great example of the pattern which would make a very special gift for the silver collector on your shopping list.
