It was first introduced to England in the 1720s, with furniture makers using the alloy to make hinges and also candlesticks. Paktong means white copper and is an alloy of copper, zinc and nickel. Although resembling silver it is much harder and does not tarnish like silverLiteratureA similar pair of candlesticks are illustrated in Keith Pinn, 'Paktong, The Chinese Alloy in Europe 1680-1820', p.89, pl. 45.

For a discussion of lacquer, japanned and 'bantamwork' cabinets see Adam Bowett, 'English Furniture 1660-1714, p.144-169 and for a cabinet with a similar carved stand with ‘pillar’ legs pl.5:33. See also Ralph Edwards, 'The Dictionary of English Furniture', vol.1, p.177, fig. 24 for a related cabinet on stand.The Pelletier family of carvers and gilders left France in the early 1680s, probably to escape persecution as Huguenots, and settled in Amsterdam. By 1682 Jean Pelletier was established in London and by the end of the decade his two sons René and Thomas had joined him. Their introduction to royal service was due to the patronage of the francophile Duke of Montagu, the courtier responsible, as Master of the Great Wardrobe, for the furnishing of all royal palaces. The Pelletiers drew heavily on the engraved designs of Jean Le Pautre (1618-82) and his son Pierre (1660-1744). For works by the Pelletier family of carvers see a side table in the Grand Entrance and Marble Hall at Buckingham Palace, RCIN 600 and a pair of Japanese cabinets on stands, RCIN 35485.

CAPTAIN DONALD JOHN GREY, R.M. (1901/2-1944) AN IMPORTANT MILITARY COLLECTIONshowcasing his military career with the Royal Marines, comprising 1914-18 medal and Great War medal awarded whilst a Private in the R.M.L.I.; a George V silver waiter by Gladwin Ltd, Sheffield 1929, engraved 'Presented to Lieut D.J. Grey by his Brother Officers, The Depot R.M. Deal', dated 7th December 1929; a Chinese 90 standard silver tankard engraved 'Presented to Capt. Grey by 'M' Section H.K.V.D.C.' (Hong Kong Volunteer Defence Corps) dated 1937; his tunic; swagger stick and two portraits (a lot)Provenance: By direct family descent. Literature: There is a lack of documented information about Donald Grey, but by family repute, Donald, or Johnny as he was known, was walking down the street circa 1916/7 when a stranger gave him a white feather. Although he was only sixteen he looked older and this affront caused him to try to sign up, however the only service that would take on a sixteen year old was the Royal Marines.He joined up initially for hostilities only but fell in love with the Marines and received his commission and stayed on, with one of his postings being Hong Kong. At the outbreak of war, he was seconded to Vickers Armstrong and worked with R.J. Mitchell to conceive the Grey and Mitchell bombs, as well as working on desalination units for submarines.Sadly Johnny met with a premature end - whilst riding his motorbike to a demonstration of one of his new designs, he hit a rope across the road that was supposed to warn of an unexploded bomb up ahead, but the sign had fallen off. He was badly injured, sent to a plastic surgery hospital where he was given the wrong blood group and he died of pneumonia late in 1944.Johnny left behind his wife, two young children and an unborn baby.
