From the dust jacket: The product of more than 20 years of research and writing, this is the definitive history of the art of the silversmith and the goldsmith in the British Isles from the earliest times to the beginning of the 20th century. It is indispensable for anyone interested in antique English plate, but its value as a contribution to the study of English culture will claim for it a much wider audience. With attention to historical background, the author closely considers the development of styles in objects wrought from silver and gold for ecclesiastical, ceremonial, domestic & decorative purposes. The first part of the text traces the forms and styles as they developed chronologically, beginning with the ancient crescent-shaped gold collars of Irish origin and proceeding through the Roman and Anglo-Saxon periods to the Romanesque and Gothic work of the high Middle Ages. A special chapter on the work of Irish goldsmiths between 900 and 1200 A.D. includes a detailed description of the Ardagh chalice. The mould-ings and enrichment characteristic of Renaissance plate and the resulting alternation of extravagant ornamentation and relatively plain styles throughout the 17th and 18th centuries are described and illustrated.Please feel free to ask any questions.
