Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. First Edition. New copy. Philanthropists Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert passionately amassed what was probably the finest private collection of goldsmiths' work in the world. Early on they concentrated on Georgian silver-in particular 18th- and early 19th-century works by English masters Paul de Lamerie and Paul Storr-and later broadened the collection to survey English and Continental goldsmith's work from the Renaissance to the Victorian era. This 1988 volume is from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where pieces from the Gilbert Collection were displayed before Arthur donated them to his native Britain. It catalogs 175 exquisite items, from a very rare Tudor silver-gilt casting bottle, with tiny dragons holding its chain handle, to an enormous cup with scenes and figures commemorating the life of Lafayette, presented to his son George Washington Lafayette after his father's death. Here too are a collection of elegant German tankards; a cup carved from a coconut to look like a somewhat pudgy hawk, with jewels and silver wings; and a 17th-century wager cup shaped like a maiden, which was later fitted with a clockwork mechanism under her skirt so she could roll along the table. Many are seen in color plates; all are shown in a large main view with smaller detail views of noteworthy features and the smith's marks, and their provenance and construction are thoroughly described. Retail price is $125.00. New copy in original new slipcase. Textured end papers. Illustrated. 688pp., index. Full refund if not satisfied.

The Gilbert Collection of gold and silver, a substantial part of which has already been given to the museum, is unique in its range and quality. It is to honor this collection and to make it more widely accessible to the public that the museum has undertaken to publish this catalogue, which documents the scope of the collection and the Gilberts' devotion to it. Perhaps the most extraordinary feature of the collection is the rate at which it has grown. In his preface to William Ezelle Jones's Monumental Silver: Selections from the Gilbert Collection of 1977, the late Kenneth Donahue, then director of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, was not guilty of exaggeration when he described it as "the richest private collection of Georgian silver. in America." At that stage the collection was less than ten years old and numbered forty-four major items, concentrating mainly on works of the eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century English masters Paul de Lamerie and Paul Storr. Ten years later the collection has grown to more than 175 pieces and may now, with equal justice, be described as the most distinguished collection of its kind, public or private, in the United States, rivaling even the great courtly collections of Europe. Its range has expanded during this period to include English and Continental goldsmith's work from the Renaissance to the Victorian era, and the chronology of Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert's acquisitions reveals a steadily increasing catholicity of taste and a growing interest in great rarities. No collector who is so ambitious as to choose a field as wide as this could ever hope to assemble a collection through which the history of the subject could be adequately studied. The Gilbert Collection, however, although noticeably stronger in some periods than in others, has come closer to this goal than perhaps any other extant private collection, an indication of the energy with which the Gilberts have pursued their aim." excerpt from the preface by Earl A. Powell III, Director, Los Angeles County Museum of Art.…

See images. Fantastic book. About the book >.>.> The Gilbert Collection of gold and silver is comprised of British, Conti- T nental European, American, and Indian works from the late fifteenth to the nineteenth century. Within this broad span the main concentrations of the collection are English and Continental goldsmith's work of the mid- sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries and English mid-eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century silver and silver-gilt. The vast majority of works in the collection are of English manufac- ture, outnumbering the Continental pieces by more than three to one. Despite the importance of Continental influence on the evolution of English silver, this numerical imbalance has made inevitable the separation of Brit- ish from Continental pieces in the catalogue and is also the reason for their separate discussion here. The purpose of this introduction is to provide a brief outline of the principal trends and characteristics of English and Continental silver for the periods repres.…
