Pierre Platel
Pierre Platel was a Huguenot silversmith, born c. 1664 in Lille and arriving in England in 1688. He was endowed in 1697, and in 1699 was granted his freedom by ransom, after which he was recorded as a major labourer. Paul de Lamery was taken on as his apprentice in 1703 and remained there until 1713. The paymaster died in 1719. His most significant works belong to the Bentinck or Cavendish families.
