John Lambe

London 

John Lambe was an 18th century silversmith who worked in London. He was born in 1738 and apprenticed to the silversmith John Edwards. Lambe became a freeman of the Goldsmiths' Company in 1762 and set up his own workshop in the Strand.

Lambe was a prolific silversmith and produced a wide range of work, including tea and coffee services, salvers, candlesticks, and boxes. His work is characterized by its elegant design and fine craftsmanship. Lambe was also a skilled engraver and many of his pieces are decorated with intricate engraving.

Lambe's work was highly sought-after by collectors and he was patronized by some of the most important families in Britain, including the Duke of Northumberland, and the Earl of Sandwich, the Duchess of Devonshire and Marquess of Rockingham. Lambe died in 1791 at the age of 53
