Identity
From 1750 to 1756 he occasionally advertised his shop at Hanover Square, and appears to have abandoned working in silver sometime between 1753 and 1756 as he became an importer of decorative items from Europe and the Orient. In 1753 he advertised wrought plate, looking glasses, sconces, European and Indian goods, and best "Florence oyl." His work is collected in the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Yale University Art Gallery.
Richard Van Dyck is recorded as silversmith and engraver.
