Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sèvres Porcelain of Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle In England, during the first quarter of the nineteenth century, the taste for Sevres Porcelain was universal among the many rich collectors of the time, who naturally followed the example set by the Prince Regent. Evidence of this taste is to be found in the collections belonging to the nobility, which for the most part were brought together about this period. Amongst them were many splendid examples Of Sevres Porcelain. It is to be regretted, however, that many of the finest specimens, through the dispersal Of some of these Old collections, have left the country, never to return. One reason for the acquisition of Sevres, on the part of wealthy English connoisseurs, to the exclusion of other and contemporary productions, was the general and intense antagonism to all Napoleonic forms of art. Sevres Porcelain of the best periods found a ready market in England; and many French nobles fallen on evil times, and who, under the Bourbon monarchy, would rather have sold their domains than their valued porcelains, Royal gifts as they were, secretly disposed Of them to English purchasers. The appreciation of Sevres Porcelain, unlike that of many other Ceramic arts, has been little influenced by passing fashion or fancy. The writer, however, ventures to assert that it is only in more recent years that its artistic and technical excellence has been adequately recognised. In the first half Of the nineteenth century a Sevres vase was regarded by most people simply as a Sevres vase, very little count being taken of its artistic quality or period of manufacture, provided Of course that it came under the designation of soft paste. At the present day it is satisfactory to note a desire for purity Of design and sound principles Of construction and decoration rather than over - exuberance Of enrichment. The result Of this change Of sentiment is that a collector nowadays would rather possess a small and dainty vase or cabaret made within the first dozen years of the foundation of the Factory, than a vase or pair of vases of greater magnitude and later style Of decoration. Happily the Royal Collection, while including amongst its many specimens every representative type. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-10-26 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Royal Collection of Paintings at Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle, Vol. 1: Buckingham Palace; One Hundred Photogravures With an Introduction and Descriptive Text The history of the Royal Collection of paintings is of some length and by no means devoid of eventful interest. As far back as the reign of King Henry VIII. Documentary records exist of the paintings which were in the possession of the Sovereign in 1542, an inventory of this year being preserved in the Record Office. A similar inventory taken in 1547 after the death of Henry VIII. Is preserved in the British Museum. Unfortunately the descriptions given of the paintings are very curt, and leave much to be conjectured but the paintings, or 'painted tables, fall into three classes, Portraits, Religious Subjects, and Historical Subjects. Of the portraits in the first class some few can still be identified in the Royal Collection at Windsor Castle or at Hampton Court Palace.
