About the Item
Pair of William Pitts, English sterling silver Georgian platter trays from 1790, with gadrooned rims, in an elegant, geometric design. They measure 15 3/4'' in depth by 12'' in width by 1'' in height, weigh 74 troy ounces, and bear hallmarks as well as Christie's Auction stickers as shown.
William Pitts was London silversmith, who apprenticed to his father Thomas Pitts I. His mark was first entered in 1781. His son, William, was apprenticed to his father starting in 1806. By 1816, William Pitts had begun to specialize in producing ornate cast candlesticks in the rococo style. He went on to work as a designer, sculptor and chaser for Paul Storr, the most celebrated Regency era English silversmith.
Some of William and Thomas Pitt's pieces are in the permanent collections of prestigious museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Dallas Museum of Art, the Cleveland Museum of Art, and the Victoria
Albert Museum.

Acquired from the estate of John and Caroline Morgan Macomber
John D. Macomber was a prominent corporate executive and board member of leading financial companies and nonprofit organizations. Macomber joined McKinsey & Company after graduating from Harvard Business School, rose to partner, and led the firm’s expansion into Europe while he was based in London, Geneva and Paris in the 1960s. He left McKinsey to helm the Celanese Corporation in New York, a global fiber and chemical company. He oversaw its expansion and dramatically increased share value, partly through stock buybacks — a concept he was one of the first to implement. Celanese was acquired by Hoechst AG of Germany in 1987 making it the world’s largest chemical company at the time. Macomber was then recruited by President George H.W. Bush to head the Export-Import Bank of the United States.
Caroline Macomber was a descendant of J.P. Morgan and an alumna of Miss Porter’s School...
