Hello All, here's a pair of silverware (matching fourk and spoon) from the 18th century, in the style of filets, double seashell, and hallmarked for Paris, 1766, but I am having trouble figuring out who the silvermith might be....
Four hallmarks visible on both silverware:
1. Charge mark for Paris, 1762-1768 (crowned A with laurel)
2. Discharge mark for Paris, 1762-1768 (dog head - tete de braque)
3. Letter date mark for Paris, 1766 (crowned C)
4. Silversmith mark - initials "TBB"?, and a star (see photos)
Initially, I thought it was Jean-Baptiste Bertin ("JBB", a star - became silversmith in 1740, died 1770/1771), but the photos look more like the initials "TBB"..any help or insight would be appreciated, thank you in advance, fermiersgeneraux
