Amassed in California over a period of 30 years, the Gilbert Collection comprises many fine examples of European decorative arts, including porcelain, furniture, clocks and portrait miniatures. The European silver, golf snuffboxes and mosaic works are equal to those in any collection in the world. This survey, illustrated with colour photographs, introduces each aspect of the collection through a selection of star pieces. It is a souvenir of an historical collection that evokes an opulent world of princes, dukes and Grand Tourists.
