Hardback (relie), 97x245mm, 496 pagina's, 70 col.ill Dutch (NL) edition. Als nieuw! ISBN 9789053252765. Aan het einde van de 19de eeuw tot het midden van de 20ste eeuw was Wolfers een begrip. De naam stond synoniem voor luxe, kwaliteit en hoogstaande artisticiteit van Belgische origine. De firma Wolfers, producent van zilverwerk en juwelen, werd in 1850 in Brussel opgericht door Louis Wolfers. Vooral onder het beleid van zijn zonen Philippe, Max en Robert kon de zaak zich internationaal profileren en verwierf zij belangrijke afzetmarkten in West- en Midden-Europa. De objecten in art-nouveaustijl die door Philippe Wolfers werden ontworpen, waren het onderwerp van lofbetuigingen vanwege de belangrijkste kunstcritici. Zijn unieke art-nouveaujuwelen werden getoond in heel Europa en de naam van Philippe Wolfers evenaarde die van de Fransman Rene Lalique. Niemand minder dan Victor Horta ontwierp het schitterende winkelpand van de zaak, die daarmee haar ambities kracht bijzette. Daar waar voor veel kunstenaars de art-nouveauperiode een eindpunt betekende, wist Philippe Wolfers via de beeldhouwkunst op perfecte wijze te evolueren naar de art deco. Gioconda, het interieur met toebehoren dat hij ontwierp voor de internationale tentoonstelling van decoratieve kunsten in Parijs in 1925, werd legendarisch.Na het overlijden van Philippe in 1929 volgde zijn zoon Marcel hem op als artistiek directeur. Naast het nieuwe elan dat Marcel de onderneming van luxeproducten gaf, profileerde hij zich als een begenadigde beeldhouwer en een begaafde lakkunstenaar. Naar het voorbeeld van zijn vriend Jean Dunand blies hij deze eeuwenoude Aziatische techniek nieuw leven in.Dit rijkelijk geillustreerde boek is het resultaat van jarenlang onderzoek. De auteurs kregen de gelegenheid om het volledige familiearchief te raadplegen. Naast wetenschappelijke bijdragen omvat het ook de beredeneerde catalogus van de oeuvres van Philippe en Marcel Wolfers. nieuw boek.
Hardcover 218 PP ILL . ISBN 9783897905092. Ebbe Weiss-Weingart (b. 1923) is one of the pioneers of international studio jewellery. For over seventy years she has enriched the contemporary jewellery scene with her diverse works. Her inception in the 1950s and 1960s with structured surfaces and galvanised sculptured pieces will never be forgotten. Alongside figurative motifs - in particular, her portrayals of humans and animals - she also created pieces with an ironic and quirky touch. In her last phase of creativity, which began in the 1990s, she had a penchant for working with jewellery made from Chinese jade reliefs. Around 200 illustrations of these jewellery objects documents her award-winning work, and along with previously unpublished photographic material, expands on her hitherto unknown accomplishments. Includes, in full, her speech on the occasion of receiving the Gesellschaft fur Goldschmiedekunst's Ring of Honour, which gives an insight into Ebbe Weiss-Weingart's philosophy and working processes.

By means of technical examination of the gold objects now part of the renowned and outstanding Egyptian collection of the National Museum of Antiquities in Leiden, this book gives a unique and innovatory insight in the work of the ancient Egyptian goldsmith. In 1922 the world came face to face with a young pharaoh: in that year the tomb of Tutankhamun was discovered and his breathtaking gold mask became known to everybody. Ancient Egyptian gold is known to all of us. But what was the significance of gold in Ancient Egyptian society? Where was it found and how was it won? And where did the Ancient Egyptian goldsmith work and what techniques did he master? The first part of this book answers the questions mentioned above. The second part is a catalogue of gold objects which are part of the renowned and outstanding collection of the Egyptian Department of the National Museum of Antiquities in Leiden. By means of a technical examination of these objects, this book gives a unique and innovatory insight in the work of the ancient Egyptian goldsmith, who was able to accomplish true work of art though working in hot and basic circumstances. ? Marielle Bulsink (1968) studied archaeology and Egyptology at Leiden University. In 1992 she finished her studies, writing a thesis on the technical research of the gold objects in the collection of the Egyptian Department of the National Museum of Antiquities in Leiden. In the following years this study was prepared for publishing. During this process she was guest researcher at the museum and took a course in metalworking under the guidance of a goldsmith to experience firsthand the ins and outs of the trade. Currently she is doing voluntary work at the National Museum of Antiquities in Leiden.

Softcover, 239pp.illustrations. ISBN 9789461611772. L'email de Bresse est un art decoratif resultant de multiples influences. Tres en vogue au 19e siecle, il connait son apogee avec les expositions universelles et s?illustre dans les parures des mondaines de l?epoque. En declin progressif au cours du 20e siecle, il revit aujourd?hui grace a la volonte d?un seul bijoutier createur base a Bourg-en-Bresse. Les occasions d?offrir les emaux en Bresse et la maniere de les porter n?etaient pas laissees au hasard : croix-pendentif recue pour la communion, bijou offert pour les ?«approchailles?» (fiancailles) ou pour les anniversaires? Recus en cadeau, transmis de mere en fille, ces emaux accompagnent encore aujourd?hui les rites familiaux. Au-dela des bijoux, l?email de Bresse possede une facette meconnue : il a egalement ete utilise pour orner les objets religieux, de divertissement (jumelles de theatre, carnet de bal) et de decoration (pilulier, encrier). A ce jour, il reste peu etudie et peu connu au-dela du territoire de la Bresse et de l?univers de la joaillerie. L?exposition Emaux de Bresse, objets precieux du quotidien, consacree a un element cle de l?identite regionale, s?impose comme un projet porteur de memoire et d?emotion. Elle resitue cet art dans le paysage international, historique et contemporain de l?email en general. Se pencher sur la finesse de ses paillons, la subtilite et la diversite des couleurs et l?equilibre de ses compositions aux details multiples des emaux, sont quelques-uns des grands plaisirs que cet evenement propose.
