The small enamel box, or 'Battersea' as it was known, is prized by antique collectors world-wide. Susan Benjamin traces its history from its origins in the 1740s through to modern-day incarnations.
Review:
a delightfully illustrated tribute to one of the most enchanting forms of the decorative arts in England (THE TIMES)
beautifully produced, with many exquisite colour plates...a very interesting, easy-to-read text...full of information (HARPERS AND QUEEN)
Mrs Benjamin's text is both scholarly and readable. Not to be missed by any collector (HOUSE AND GARDEN)
