The Huguenot Legacy English Silver 1680-1760 Tapa dura - 2006

London: Thomas Heneage, 1996. Softcover. VG. Burgundy cloth with color illustrated matte dustjacket. 432 pp. 300+ color and bw plates. A mammoth volume. 111 items are featured and voluminously annotated. Index. Fabulous illustrations. In 1685 Louis XIV revoked the Edict of Nantes, which had given religious freedom to the French protestants, or Huguenots.

Many of the Huguenots were skilled artists, like silversmiths, and their influence on English silver of the period has long been recognized. In this book, Christopher Hartop re-assesses the Huguenot contribution to silver made in England and suggests that the Huguenots were just one - albeit the most significant - of several groups of foreign workers who were responsible for the great flowering of style and technique in English silver between 1680 and 1760. The book also examines the radical changes in the way in which people… Leer más
