Catalogue Note
The chasing on that Lamerie dish, after the Wolf hunting by Alexandre-François Desportes, nowadays in the Rennes museum, might have been done under the direction of William Pitts circa 1809 for Rundell, Bridge & Rundell. For an identical dish, perhaps the pair to that one, with maker's mark of William Pitts, London, 1809, see Sotheby's, Parke Bernet, 2 June 1972, nr 127. According to John Culme, some of these large sideboard dishes redecorated at that period were part of the Prince Regent's collections.
