Salver

Charles Le Roux American

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 750

This square salver with an upcurved rim and bracket feet is one of only two such American salvers known. It and a similarly rare coffeepot (1997.498.1) are engraved with the arms of Assheton quartering Shepley, for Ralph Assheton (1695–1745/6) of Philadelphia. Both are the work of Charles Le Roux, a leading New York silversmith of the second quarter of the eighteenth century, whose clientele included a number of prominent Philadelphians. The coffeepot and salver remained together, in family hands, until 1989.

Salver, Charles Le Roux (baptized 1689–1745), Silver, American
