Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essential guide continues Duncan's survey of this key period with a study of both orfevrerie - the objects d'arts created by gold and silversmiths - and metalware. At this point in history, the distinction between the fine and decorative arts began to weaken, resulting in exquisite enamelling by such luminaries as Lalique, brilliantly fashioned household accoutrements of bronze and wrought iron and a flourishing of sculpture. Over 2,000 illustrations beautifully document these important pieces.

Download or read book The Paris Salons 1895 1914 Ceramics and glass written by Alastair Duncan and published by ACC Distribution. This book was released on 1994 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the fourth volume in Alastair Duncan's monumental survey of works exhibited in the Paris Salons at the turn of the century. Research for this book revealed that the independent French porter around 1900 adhered to the strong Arts and Crafts tradition by which workshop, tools, trade secrets, and skills were handed down from father to son. For these craftsmen each piece was a unique work of art, the glaze and its random effects were paramount. In the field of glass relatively few craftsmen were drawn to the modernist movement at the turn of the century, yet their achievements today dwarf those of their ceramic counterparts. In very large part this is due to the monolithic impact of Emile Galle whose technical and artistic genius astounds today's connoisseurs even more perhaps than their original audience. Under his stewardship glass was transformed into a medium of simulated movement and infinitely blended colors, with complex internal patterns and surface textures derived from the most comprehensive compendium of techniques in the history of the medium. 1,500 colour & 27 b/w illustrations

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though enamel buttons have been around for centuries and are favorites of button collectors, there has not been a book completely dedicated to their study . . . until now! Author Karen L. Cohen brings her unique perspective as an enamelist, Studio Button Artist, and educator to Enamel Buttons: An Essential Resource for Collectors. Meticulous research combined with her insights about the properties of enamel and the techniques used in buttons make this a must-have book for every collector. Hundreds of photos provide examples of the various techniques and button types and are a valuable resource for study. Cohen explains why things look like they do, such as why Motiwala Bros. “Liquid Enamel” buttons look like they flow, while also helping the collector distinguish between closely related techniques, such as Champlevé and Cloisonné or Monochrome and Grisaille. Her extensive research on the evolution of enameling techniques provides the history chapter with fascinating facts intertwined with how they relate to enamel buttons. Cohen has documented many of the enamelist makers along with their back marks, making it easier for collectors to identify button finds. The appendices include related information such as how to identify enamel look-alikes such as CPE (cold plastic enamel) and restoration techniques. If you already collect enamel buttons, this is an essential resource for understanding your collection in more depth. If you are curious about the topic, this book tells it all: history, material, techniques and embellishments, makers, and more. If you are a collector of other types of enamelware or are fascinated with enameling or are someone who resells enamels such as antique dealers, this book is an excellent resource about the various aspects of enamel in general. Lastly, it’s a button book you will enjoy paging through again and again, admiring the hundreds of glorious enamel buttons!
