Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Silver is among the most magnificent of antiques. The collector may view his specimens as works of art, fragments of history, or ever-appreciating investments, but their universal appeal lies in their intimate association with the day-to-day details of living; the kettle and salver, the salt-cellar and candlestick. All were designed to be used. The authors trace the development of domestic silver from 1500-1820. Each chapter concentrates on a specific article as the course of its production is described and explained. Each element in this process from the design, through ornamentation, and finally to the manufacturing technique itself, combined to produce a distinctive result which is recognisable as belonging only to the period in which it was created. This book is a practical guide to recognition and identification for the non-expert. Every detail is accompanied by a line drawing and the whole chronological sequence of each item is clearly set forth. The section on hallmarks will prove of particular interest to those who have been mystified by the minute stamps and have always wondered at their meaning. This is an invaluable guide to anyone with an interest in silverware.

Book excerpt: Celebrating the stunning beauty of English silver crafted over three centuries, A Noble Feast offers unique insight into the developments that took place in eating and drinking habits in Stuart, Hanoverian, and Victorian England. Foreign influences, not only from France, Spain, and Italy but also from the New World, figure prominently in the customs of the tabletop during this period of English history. Drawing on colorful details from menus, cookery books, and anecdotes about the owners of these magnificent silver tablewares, Christopher Hartop shows how the silver reflects burgeoning prosperity in Restoration London and global expansion of the British Empire in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Through examples taken from the Gans Collection--one of the leading silver collections in the United States--Hartop documents the confidence in artistic endeavor as well as in trade and industry that typified the age. With works by such celebrated masters as Paul de Lamerie, Paul Storr, Robert Garrard, and Rundell, Bridge & Rundell, the collection offers a veritable feast of silver splendor, here highlighted by lush color illustrations and an updated catalogue.

Download or read book Silver in England written by Philippa Glanville and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-05 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published in 2005. Silver is unique among the decorative arts in that its raw material is both inherently valuable and infinitely reusable. Its ownership has been a social bench-mark and its form has exercised the skills of sculptors, designers, chasers and engravers, but ultimately it could be, and normally was, melted down and refashioned quite without sentiment. Because of this constant recycling, the survival of any individual object is quite random and unrelated to its uniqueness or otherwise in its period. Hitherto plate historians have focused on individual objects almost to the exclusion of the context - social or economic - from which they came but now that context is seen as crucial in understanding historic plate. So in the first section of this book each chapter considers contemporary attitudes and usage.
