The maker is Denis Jean Andres Garreau; see this thread for more information: Sugar basket maker

The mark under the warranty mark is the second standard Minerva head in use from 1838, indicating that the piece was resold at some point after that and marked a second time.

Sixte-Simon Rion Born: 22 Oct 1780, St. Germain-sur-Ecole, Seine-et-Marne, son of Jean Rene Rion & Marie Amie Durel Married: 2 Sep 1807, Paris, to Adelaide Josephine Bourg Died: 14 May 1848, Paris The other mark is that of demoiselle Francoise Nicolas (Arminjon I, no. 02741; mark “Nicolas” with...

I have also noticed the errors in Arminjon around pages 237 & 237 among the “LD” section and they are confusing. That said, I am confident the maker here is Louis Dufay (Arminjon I, no. 02311) whose symbol is described as "un fa": the musical note "fa" (do, re, mi, fa, etc.) ...

The maker is Eugene Delebois; see here French Tureen - can you identify the maker's mark?

Relatively. I've seen some flatware from him before; his mark is just usually just not identified.

Oops! Note correct spelling: LEMAYEUR

Yes, French, from the city of Lille (dept. Nord), first standard: 950/1000 Edouard Desire Lemayer Born: 17 Mar 1823, son of Jean Baptiste Joseph Lemayeur & Catherine Joseph Bigo Mark Registered: 7 Aug 1848 Married: 2 Aug 1859, to Eugenie Pauline Sophie Gahide Died: 27 Dec 1890 Hope this helps! R...

I think the maker is Andrej Dejl [Ondrej Theil] (Master 1766, died 1799). The mark is not an exact match, but he appears to be the only maker with the right initials at the right time. Ref: Josef Hrasky, Zlatnici Prazskeho Baroka (Prague: Decorative Arts Museum, 1984), p. 68, Prague Old Town maker #...

I can add that the "K" charge mark in this form was used 1771-1774, and the B/B jurande mark was used 1773-1774. Also, in your second image, the left-hand mark in the upper photo is the Bordeaux decharge mark - a boar's head (inverted in the photo) - used 1770-1775.

The maker is Charles Antoine Blerzy . Arminjon (v. I, no. 571) has very little information on him, just that he registered his mark 1799/1800 at 10 Place Thionville as a maker of "la grosserie" (a plateworker, essentially, as opposed to a maker of flatware or smallware, though there was, o...

The marks is that of: Etienne Antoine Courtellemont Born: 19 Aug 1795 [23 fructidor an III], St. Saveur sur Ecole, Seine et Marne, son of Simon Spire Courtellemont & Marguerite Angelique LeBetz Married: 3 Nov 1835, Paris, to Marie Anne Cecille, daughter of Jean Louis Cecille & Jeanne Dauger ...

Jean Granvigne

You're welcome. I assume by "the 1793 mark" you mean the Greek Woman's head with the letter "P". It is a persistent error that this mark was used only in the late 18th century; see this thread - Antique Oil and Vinegar Set - for more information. The mark is known to have appeare...

Claude Louis Jonquoy Born: 8 Oct 1788, Paris, son of Claude Jonquoy & Marie Victoire Nicole Escur Married: 15 Mar 1813, to Marie Madeleine Boissard Died: 12 Mar 1861, Paris He was a silversmith specializing in snuffboxes, and registered six marks between 1818/19 and 1846, the last being cancell...

I found only two contemporaneous civil records mentioning J.A. Berel - as a declarant at his brother's marriage in 1803 and his mother's death in 1819 - but they did offer some interesting information. His full name was Jean Auguste Berel, and he was born in Paris around 1781, the son of Marin Jacqu...

Had a couple of days off and did some digging. I was unable to find very much information on François Joseph Meresse. He appears in the Paris citizen's registers of 1792 and 1793 as a silversmith, age 29 in both, and at 64 rue Quincampoix 64 and 55 Rue de Ponceau, respectively. He states that he was...
