First published in 1928, Old Silver of Europe and America is a comprehensive guide to the history of domestic silverware.With particular focus upon objects produced between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries, the survey includes both the United States and Canada and stretches across Europe, England, Scotland and Ireland to Russia and the Baltic states.Lavishly illustrated with black and white photos, the guide includes examples of tankards, plates, bowls, jugs, teapots, strainers, porringers, candlesticks and ornaments, many of which are treasures from royal or national collections.Alongside this stunning variety of shape and decoration are profiles of some of the most noted silversmiths of each country, making Old Silver of Europe and America an classic and insightful introduction to the subject.
