Pierre Gillois
Pierre (Peter) Gillois was a Huguenot silversmith whose name appears in the records of Dublin goldsmiths in 1753-4, but details of a working career are recorded. His first hallmark was entered in London as a large worker in November 1754. He was registered to work at Wardour Street, St Anne, Soho where he appeared as a plateworker in the Parliament Report list 1773. The second mark entered on 15th June 1782 working from 25 Queen Street, Seven Dials. Gillois’ work appears from the few surviving examples to have been confined almost entirely to tea caddy and sugar box sets of a delicate rococo style.
