Great detail, photos, descriptions of kinds of boxes, the history of hinges, methods that have been used to apply ornamentation. ( ) Lots of information about European silver boxes, well-organized and -illustrated. The author's old-fashioned style of presentation doesn't detract. An index would have been useful as would, especially, an index to the illustrations, as they do not quite follow along with the text. One can easily figure it out, but it's smoother reading if one doesn't have to. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
The silver box has fascinated and intrigued collectors for many centuries. This book is a comprehensive study of the subject which concentrates on the development of the silver box in England from the 16th to the late 19th centuries. Because the interest of collectors lies not so much in the shape or type of boxes as in the wide variety of uses to which they have been put and the splendid enrichment lavished upon them, there is a penetrating analysis of the roots and derivations of ornament. The full colour illustrations show boxes with as many diverse forms and uses as possible. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
