hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. dust jacket in mylar.

Hardback. Condition: Good. Enter the gilded realm of ?Marks of London Goldsmiths and Silversmiths (c1697-1837),? where the echoes of the past clink together like fine crystal at a royal banquet! This tome, expertly curated by the ever-so-astute John P. Fallon, is a treasure map for those seeking to navigate the dazzling world of British craftsmanship during a period when a spoon was more than just a utensil?it was a statement. Prepare to be transported to an era when the most mundane of objects sparkled with history and significance, and when the average Londoner likely had a better understanding of precious metals than of their own local pub?s opening hours. The cover is a much brighter yellow than the scan conveys. Published in 1988 by David and Charles (a name that sounds like a snazzy duo of Victorian gentlemen, doesn?t it?), this book is a veritable cornucopia of marks, signatures, and hallmarks that would make even the most jaded collector sit up and take notice. If you?ve ever wondered about the difference between a lion passant and a unicorn rampant, or simply found yourself inquiring about the whereabouts of your local silversmith?s workshop circa 1710, look no further! Fallon has painstakingly compiled a guide that will allow you to impress your friends with arcane knowledge about the obscure world of silversmithing, all while they attempt to remember where they left their car keys. With pages that could charm the very socks off a statue of Sir Isaac Newton, this book is more than just a reference; it?s a social commentary on the bling culture of yesteryear. Delight in the variety of marks that adorned the wares of London?s finest?from the elegantly understated to the ostentatiously flamboyant. You may find yourself questioning whether a cup was designed for tea or merely as a trophy for the most extravagant party in all of 18th-century London. Indeed, Fallon?s work is as much about style as it is about substance, a fine balance akin to walking a tightrope while sipping Earl Grey. In a world where even the simplest of objects can carry the weight of history, this book invites you to ponder profound questions, such as: What does it mean to leave a mark? Or more importantly, how can I use this knowledge to dazzle my acquaintances at dinner parties? Whether you?re an aspiring antiques dealer, an enthusiastic historian, or merely someone looking to dazzle your next Tinder date with facts about cup handles, this compendium is your ticket to the other side of the social spectrum. But let?s not forget that while this book is packed with historical insights, it also serves as a reminder that goldsmiths and silversmiths are, first and foremost, artists with an eye for detail. Each mark tells a story?often a more riveting tale than that of its current owner, who may well be an aspiring socialite with an unfortunate taste in furniture. Intricate illustrations and charming designs that are sure to elevate your coffee table. Footnotes so detailed they could be mistaken for an underground guide to London?s best-kept secrets. Historical anecdotes that provide just the right amount of pretension for your next soirée. An index that would make even the most list-averse individual feel oddly accomplished. And possibly a good number of typos, just to keep things interesting. Condition: Good, which is to say, this book shows a little wear and tear, much like the well-loved sofa in your grandmother?s sitting room. It?s undoubtedly seen its fair share of dust bunnies, but isn?t that just part of its charm? Think of it as a vintage wine with a few sedimentary quirks?perfectly drinkable, with a hint of nostalgia. So, whether you are an aficionado of shiny objects or simply someone who appreciates the quirks of history, ?Marks of London Goldsmiths and Silversmiths (c1697-1837)? is the book for you. Who knows, it might just inspire you to start a collection of your own?or perhaps, to avoid the pitfalls of modern consumerism altogether! Grab your copy from Crappy Old Boo.…
