Veertig jaar trok het verzamelaarsechtpaar Maudy Smith en Jaap Heij de wereld rond op zoek naar zilveren sieraden. Ze legden een verzameling aan van bijna zeshonderd etnische sieraden uit een gebied dat zich uitstrekt van Marokko tot China. De collectie omvat hoofdsieraden, hals- en borstkettingen, armbanden, ringen, riemen, enkelbanden en teenringen, maar er zijn ook gebruiksvoorwerpen bij als chatelaines, oorlepeltjes en een reisset. Zilver leeft, vindt het echtpaar, precies dat maakt het edelmetaal zo bijzonder. Goud blijft altijd blinken, maar een zilveren sieraad dat ongebruikt blijft, wordt dof. Wordt het gedragen, dan gaat het glanzen en slijt het hier en daar af. Zo vertelt elk zilverwerk een eigen intiem levensverhaal. De kracht van zilver toont tweehonderd sieraden uit de collectie Smith- Hutschenruyter. Dit boek belicht niet alleen de pracht en de kunde, maar ook de mensen achter de sieraden. Ontwerpers vertellen over de stukken die ze maken; smeden, handelaren en de collectioneurs zelf nemen het woord. Vrouwen hebben het over hun band met hun sieraden. Voor een 27-jarige Berbervrouw is een leven zonder zilver ondenkbaar, want 'als je je nek niet hebt versierd, zie je eruit als een kameel'. Toch worden de zilverstukken niet alleen gedragen als versiering. Soms bieden ze magische bescherming, vaak zijn ze een uiting van status en economische onafhankelijkheid. 'Kijk naar wat wij dragen en je weet wie wij zijn.' Begeleidt de gelijknamige tentoonstelling in het Wereldmuseum, Rotterdam van 17 februari 2011 t/m 22 mei 2011. Nieuw boek.

Hedendaags juweelontwerp is zonder twijfel het resultaat van duizenden jaren vakmanschap, traditie en research. Eigentijdse juweliers gebruiken nog steeds dezelfde edele metalen en edelstenen als hun voorgangers, maar blijven experimenteren met technieken, innoveren met nieuwe materialen en eigenzinnige concepten. Jewelbook is een internationaal project dat eigentijds juweelontwerp verzamelt van?s werelds beste en meest vooruitstrevende juweliers. Jewelbook wil niet alleen innovatie en unieke creaties tonen, maar wil ook juweelontwerp als expressie van de eigentijdse cultuur promoten. 540 oogverblindende creaties, geselecteerd door een internationale jury van juweelontwerpers en designspecialisten, worden in het boek verzameld. Jewelbook zal ongetwijfeld uitgroeien tot een belangrijk internationaal referentiewerk op het vlak van de sierkunst, een tool om juweliers nog meer bewust te maken van wat leeft op internationaal niveau en de uitwisseling van ideeen en technieken aan te moedigen.

Hardcover, 1048 pages, Texte en Francais, Nouveau !, 340 x 250 x 95 mm, Reliés cartonnés sous coffret illustré , 2400 illustrations en couleur / n/b , Trois volumes, Volume 1 : 264 pages / Volume 2 : 392 pages / Volume 3 : 392 pages, . ISBN 9782878443219. Dans ces trois volumes de catalogue raisonné sont étudiées les oeuvres en argent, en or, en plaqué et doublé d'argent exécutées de 1500 à 1800 en France et en Europe : au total 891 oeuvres réparties chronologiquement en 477 notices. La collection d'orfèvrerie du Louvre s'impose ainsi par son ampleur exceptionnelle. Sa lente constitution, opérée générations après générations, fait d'elle sans aucun doute la plus belle collection au monde. L'orfèvrerie du XVIIe siècle y est la mieux représentée, avec de nombreuses pièces de vaisselle des grands services de table royaux et princiers de l'Ancien Régime, mais le catalogue comprend également des objets de toilette, des accessoires mobiliers (flambeaux, miroirs, coffrets) et de l'orfèvrerie religieuse, en particulier celle issue du trésor de l'ordre du Saint-Esprit constitué à la fin du xvie siècle. Ses chefs-d'oeuvre, comme le coffre d'or des pierreries de Louis XIV, proviennent des collections personnelles du roi de France, mais aussi de celles des grands princes de la famille royale, comme le duc de Penthièvre et des souverains européens qui, comme Joseph Ier de Portugal, George III d'Angleterre ou Catherine II de Russie, furent les clients des plus célèbres orfèvres parisiens. A ces pièces exceptionnelles, dons ou legs des plus grands collectionneurs depuis le XIXesiècle, s'ajoutent celles de la collection Puiforcat entrée au Louvre en 1955, qui forme aujourd'hui, par le nombre de ses couverts et couteaux, une collection d'étude unique au monde. Aboutissement de trente ans de recherches, le catalogue en renouvelle totalement la connaissance en livrant au public de nombreuses découvertes inédites sur les techniques, le style, les provenances, l'héraldique, l'iconographie... Toutes les notices, abondamment illustrées, sont référencées par des sources d'archives, une bibliographie, les images et l'identification des poinçons relevés sur les objets ; elles décrivent et analysent les formes et les ornements et développent leurs aspects historiques et stylistiques. En annexe, un index, une table héraldique et 262 biographies d'orfèvres facilitent l'usage de cet ouvrage conçu pour devenir une référence pérenne.
PB, 330 x 255 mm, 424 pages, 480 illustrations, ENG edition. ISBN 9789462302310. This book deals in three parts with the complete Gillion Crowet Collection, which with its approximately three hundred pieces forms a reference collection in the field of the parures of the Moroccan Berber women. The collection, which focuses on the production of silver from the countryside, paints a broad panorama of the creative centers, drawing on pieces of exceptional quality not found in any other public collection today. The first part explores the historical continuity of Berber culture from the Neolithic on and examines the - still topical - issue of a Saharan culture forced to settle elsewhere by desertification. In response to this historical approach, the second part highlights the close relationship that makes the parures the "screen image" of the Berber woman. The third part explores the places where the parures were produced. The jewels are reduced to a topography of creation that runs from North to South and from East to West, with a fundamental anchorage in the southeast of Morocco.

Laurence Graff's passion for diamonds has been inspiring him to create the most fabulous jewels in the world for over three decades. This sumptuous book traces his story from his beginnings as an apprentice jeweler in the East End of London to his current position as the head of an empire of precious stones. Graff's clients are Kings and Queens, Presidents and Prime Ministers, Oligarchs and Taipans. For them he creates jewels of extraordinary vivacity and lightness which move and shimmer with the wearer. This beautifully illustrated book contains much archive material on the historic stones which are Graff's raw material as well as dazzling pictures of Graff jewels and those who wear them.

AN IMPORTANT COLLECTION, IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, OF 19TH-CENTURY DEPICTIONS OF PYRENEAN SCENERY, executed in lithography (often hand-colored), aquatint, and engraving. ***(1) An unusually fine set of Melling's large folio "Voyage pittoresque dans les Pyrenees francais" (1826-1830), complete with 72 delicate aquatints, a map, a lithographed portrait of the artist, and the text by Cervini. Attractively bound and with clean, unfoxed plates (most unusual for this book). ***(2) TWO fine sets of Victor Petit's folio "Souvenirs des Pyrenees", with about 50 lithographs per set. The first set is beautifully hand-colored on fine wove paper; the second set uncolored on chine.

Many of these items are quite rare, and all are in very good condition. Several hundred prints in all. An outstanding collection. (I may consider selling one or more items separately. Please enquire.)
HB+, 280 x 230 mm, 400 p, 300 colour illustrations English edition . ISBN 9788836635078. The objective of the book is exploring (through careful and rigorous archive research) the scenario of Italian twentieth-century jewellery by delving into the evolution of this art through chronological sectors illustrating different aspects of this production - approximately from 1900 until 1990. Various chapters in the book are dedicated to Neo-Historism, Art Nouveau, Art Deco, to the 1930s, 1940s, 1950s and ultimately from the 1960s to the 1990s while highlighting the difference and uniqueness of Italian jewels. Alongside the works, many preparatory drawings still preserved in the archives of prestigious jeweller and private collections that have generously granted permission to consult these precious and mostly unexplored documents will be published in this book. In many cases, this will envisage the actual discovery of the identity of this great Italian production of millennial tradition. Renowned names will be present: Mario Buccellati, Alfredo Ravasco, the Musy family from Turin, the Petochi family from Rome. Particular attention will be paid to the 1960s and 1970s as they marked the birth of the new Bulgari style. The review will be presenting works created by the jeweller Mario Masenza in collaboration with painters and sculptors such as Afro, Cannilla, Capogrossi and Uncini, and the "new jewels" initiated by the brothers Arnaldo and Gio Pomodoro. During the 1980s and 1990s we have to mention the creations by Pomellato, Gio Caroli and Riviere. The book comes to a conclusion with some in-depth studies of manufacturing centres of excellence in the Italian jewellery sector, such as Valenza, Vicenza, Arezzo and Padua School. The book comes to a close with the biographies of all the Italian jewellers and goldsmiths mentioned within, in addition to 350 unprecedented images including precious archive documents: sketches, photographs of models wearing vintage jewellery, colour/black and white photographs of jewellery specimens.

A pictur A superb production with most attractive plates, including nine of orchids and six of bromeliads, each plate with a descriptive leaf. Margaret Mee (1909-88) traveled to the Amazon area 15 times over a 32 year period, by canoe, on foot and often alone. Her paintings and sketches "could stand without shame in the high company of such masters as Georg Dionysius Ehret and Redoute" (Wilfred Blunt). Mee was a passionate conservationist and devoted her life to recording the diversity and beauty of the Amazon. She was one of the first to protest the destruction still taking place there. Sitwell in Great Flower Books describes her work as: 'exceptional and quite in the tradition of the great eighteenth-century books '. 'Mee's work is of an unusually high order of excellence and in the best tradition of flower painting' [Taylor, director of Royal Botanic Garden of Kew]. 'Mee was a talented botanical painter and intrepid traveller. . .an exceptional personality' [Oak Spring Flora]. One of the plants illustrated was discovered by Mee herself.
