softcover, 752 pages, 21,0 cm × 27,0 cm × 4,5 cm . Texte en Francais. ISBN 9782906340749. Le présent ouvrage retrace l'histoire de l'orfèvrerie produite en Picardie ? Monnaie d'Amiens ? depuis le Moyen Age jusqu'au XIX e siècle. La juridiction d'Amiens comprenait quinze villes et s'étendait de Calais jusqu'à Noyon. Plus de quinze ans de travail ont été nécessaires pour réunir la documentation et les pièces représentatives de la région picarde. Les biographies de près de 1150 orfèvres (avec 300 poinçons) y sont synthétisées et s'appuient sur des sources largement inédites. Etablis pour chacune des communautés d'orfèvres, des tableaux de la marque et des poinçons de communauté (260 poinçons) permettent de référencer les objets. Enfin, le catalogue de 378 oeuvres, issues d'un corpus de près de 500 pièces connues, permet de mettre à la portée de tous, chercheurs, collectionneurs et amateurs, un patrimoine mobilier de grande qualité, exceptionnel à Abbeville ou à Calais, souvent très dispersé et peu accessible

W. Ehrstrom ? Master Craftsman, Raimo Fagestrom : From Traditional Goldsmithing to Art Jewellery, Marianne Aav : Jewellery Art ? Late Phenomenon in Finland, Helena ja Lars Pahlman, Collectors of Contemporary Jewellery. The fascinating world of jewellery is presented with both examples from past centuries and the work of designers representing new, industrially made jewellery in Finland. The trailblazing companies of the field, Kalevala Koru, Kaunis Koru and Lapponia Jewelry, and their designers, have contributed in a variety of ways to the Finnish culture of jewellery, which also comprises unique works of art that are successful in international competition. Since 1960s, Finland has jewellery artists and designers that have broken with tradition and worked with different materials and forms in their search for their own approach. There are many jewellery artists, although their works appeal, for the time being to only a small group of experts. An interview with Helena and Lars Pahlman, who began to collect jewellery art or experimental jewellery in the 1970s in Finland, explores their interest in this pastime and illustrates their collection, of which one hundred examples chosen by them are presented.
Hardcover, 235 pagina's, Nederlands, 295 x 225 mm, boek in goede staat, met illustraties in kleur, .NIEUW! ISBN 9789077069080. Sedert zowat tweeduizend jaar is brons een van de meest geliefkoosde materialen van beeldhouwers in Azië. Het cultureel en religieus erfgoed van India, Sri Lanka, Nepal en Tibet weerspiegelt de weergaloze kwaliteit die op het vlak van bronsgieten werd bereikt. Religies als het hindoeïsme, het jainisme en het boeddhisme hebben deze kunstvorm aangewend om hun voorstellingen van goden en helden te vereeuwigen. De kunstenaars lieten zich leiden door gespecialiseerde handboeken met precieze voorschriften over iconografie en afmetingen. Zij gebruikten hoofdzakelijk de methode van de ?verloren-was' of cire-perdue . Het originele beeld in was werd in een omhulsel van klei gevat. De was werd weggesmolten en in de plaats werd het brons gegoten. Het kunstwerk bleef op die wijze uniek. Soms werd het beeld ook gedreven of gehamerd in koperplaat, zilver of goud.
Gebonden, Hardcover 160 pages, Illustrated. full colour, 26x26cm. . ISBN 9789492576361. JAN VAN NOUHUYS is de meest toonaangevende Nederlandse zilversmid van de afgelopen decennia. Hij verhief het ambacht van zilversmeden tot autonome kunst. Daarbij denkend en werkend vanuit het eeuwenoude vakmanschap; én door anderen te inspireren en te motiveren een plek op te eisen voor hedendaags zilver. Zo initieerde hij het spraakmakende ?Zilver in Beweging? en realiseerde in ruim veertig jaar een oeuvre waarin artistieke zeggingskracht en vakmanschap samengaan. Jan van Nouhuys ? zilverkunst ? grondlegger van de Nederlandse hedendaagse zilverkunst vertelt het verhaal van een man die zilversmid werd, gefascineerd raakte door het vakmanschap van zijn illustere voorgangers uit de zeventiende eeuw, en besefte dat dit vakmanschap het zilver ook een actuele waarde verschaft als de zilversmid tegelijkertijd zich de vrijheid van de kunstenaar eigen maakt. Journalist en kunstcriticus Marc Couwenbergh combineerde zijn monografie over Jan van Nouhuys en het zilver, een verhaal vol scepsis, wantrouwen, bijna-faillisement én eclatant succes, met een analyse van hoe Van Nouhuys, zoekend naar een eigen beeldtaal, een oeuvre opbouwde dat uniek is in kwaliteit en kwantiteit. Een uitgebreid register maakt het boek ook tot een uniek naslagwerk over het moderne Nederlandse zilver. Ruim zestig objecten uit het oeuvre staan in het boek afgebeeld, gefotografeerd door Fred Weegenaar en Rob Glastra. De vormgeving van het boek door Feike de Keijzer-Jansen sluit aan op het belang dat Jan van Nouhuys hecht aan vakmanschap en artisticiteit.

Autore, titolo, filetti in oro e fregi a secco ai tasselli ed ai nervi. Piatti foderati in tela. Prima edizione in ottime condizioni di conservazione di questa importante opera dedicata a Rio de La Plata e Tenerife scritta dal celebre fisiologo, patologo, igienista, neurologo, antropologo e scrittore italiano, Paolo Mantegazza (Monza, 31 ottobre 1831 - San Terenzo, 28 agosto 1910) fra i primissimi divulgatori delle teorie darwiniane in Italia e fra i primi antropologi moderni. "Subito dopo la laurea, spinto dal desiderio di avviare imprese economiche e probabilmente anche per motivi sentimentali, il M. lasciò l'Italia: dopo essere passato per la Francia, la Germania e l'Inghilterra, si recò in Argentina, in Paraguay, in Bolivia, ove compì numerose osservazioni naturalistiche, botaniche, etniche ed etnoiatriche. Nel 1856 a Salta, in Argentina, conobbe e sposò Jacobina Tejada Montemajor, dalla quale l'anno successivo ebbe il suo primo figlio. Intrapreso nel 1858 il viaggio di ritorno in Italia, la lunga sosta alla quale, per motivi sanitari, fu costretto a Tenerife gli offrì l'opportunità di dedicarsi allo studio antropologico e craniomorfologico delle popolazioni locali. Frutto dell'esperienza maturata in questi viaggi furono i due volumi Sulla America meridionale; lettere mediche, editi a Milano nel 1858-60, e i lavori: Sulle virtù igieniche e medicinali della coca e sugli alimenti, in Annali universali di medicina, s. 4, XXI (1859), 501, pp. 449-519, al quale nel 1858 era stato conferito il premio Dell'Acqua dell'ospedale Maggiore di Milano; Degli alimenti nervosi narcotici, in L'Igea, III (1864), pp. 354 s.; Sull'uso terapeutico della coca, ibid., V (1866), p. 284; Rio de La Plata e Tenerife: viaggi e studi, Milano 1867." da Treccani.
