Dish

1685, with later monogram

Not on view

The cherubs, foliage and, particularly, flowers chased in high relief on the border of this dish were popular motifs not only in silver but also in contemporary painting and used for marquetry and gilt leather as can be seen in this and nearby galleries. The monogram engraved in the center refers to a member of De Peyster family, an important Dutch merchant family in New York which included Abraham de Peyster who served as mayor of the city from 1691-94.
