HISTOIRE METALLIQUE DE LA REPUBLIQUE DE HOLLANDE. NOUVELLE EDITION AUGMENTÉE DE 140 MÉDAILLES [VOL I & II, COMPLETE AS ISSUED].

1st edition thus [2nd edition, expanded from the first] Bound in 18th Century,full leather, retaining what appear to be the 17th Century spines.In custom clamshell box. 8vo, Volume 1:[4]+[19]+160 pages; Volume 2: pages 161-315 +12+[32] pages. Beautiful engraved Illustrations of coins and medals throughout, many foldout. In French. Title translates as “Metalic History of the Republic of Holland. New Edition Augmented by 140 Medals.” Graesse I, 433. Lipsius / LS 47. The Bourbon historian and scholar Pierre Bizot (1630-1696) was one of the first authors to take an interest in modern numismatics. The author also proposed to reconstruct the history of the Netherlands based on the production and description of the medals. Metal production in the Netherlands from 1566 to 1680 is described with a great luxury with both numismatic and historical information. The book of Bizot had been printed for the first time in Paris in 1687 in folio format. In this second edition in smaller format, the first two volumes reproduce the text of Bizot. However the editor there has inserted several additions and had many plates engraved again, that were engraved in reverse in the first edition issued a year earlier in 1687. Includes “Remarques sur L’edition De Paris De la Republique de Hollande de Mr. Bizot” at the end of the 2nd volume. A supplement was published over a decade later. Paper and internal binding excellent with only light toning, no tears, Very Good Condition. (AC-21-18)

HOOIJKAAS. SCHOONHOVENS ZILVER IN AMBACHT EN SERIE 1874 - 2008

Geillustreerde kartonomslag in kleur, 225 x 275mm., 128pp., zeer uitgebreide kleurillustratie. ISBN 9789040077715. Begin twintigste eeuw werd een industriele productielijn voor het vervaardigen van schepwerk opgezet. Er kwam een geleidelijke modernisering van de ontwerpen op gang. Bekend zijn de ontwerpen in de organische vorm van art deco, serviezen, bestekken en de geschenken van Douwe Egberts. Met de zilveren miniaturen van Hooijkaas konden verschillende kamertjes worden ingericht. Naast de industriele producten zagen ook heel bijzondere, meer ambachtelijke zilveren objecten bij Hooijkaas het licht. Bijvoorbeeld zilveren scheepsmodellen die varieerden van fantasie schepen uit het verleden tot nauwkeurige schaalmodellen van bestaande schepen. Eind jaren zestig belandde de zilverfabriek in een economisch ongunstige tijd - de moderne huisvrouw wil geen zilver meer poetsen. Van enig herstel is geen sprake meer en in 1993 gaat het bedrijf op in de Verenigde Goud en Zilverfabrieken Schoonhoven, samen met de zilverfabrieken Zilverstad en Niekerk. Onder de merknaam Hooijkaas worden vanaf 1997 nog een aantal jaren relatiegeschenken uitgebracht, maar op 1 april 2008 viel het doek definitief voor de Schoonhovensche zilverfabriek H. Hooijkaas. Nieuw boek.

Ieperse edelsmeden van het ancien regime.

Softcover,176 pagina's met talrijke afbeeldingen van keurmerken, NL tekst + resume Francaise. Het naslagwerk der edelsmeden Ieper.Dit boek (176 blz., formaat 16 x 24 cm) is een studie van de edelsmeden van Ieper van het ancien regime. In de inleiding wordt een kort overzicht van de geschiedenis van de steden Ieper, Poperinge en Roeselare gegeven. Oorlogen hebben de stad Ieper meermaals verwoest. Hongersnood en epidemieen hebben de bevolking uitgedund. Voor zilverwerk was er nog weinig ruimte. Het werd door de overheid meer dan eens opgevorderd om de kosten van het leger en de versterkingen van de stad te dekken. Dit verklaart waarom het edelsmeedwerk van de oude periode zeldzaam geworden is. Het oudste bekende stuk stamt uit het midden van de zestiende eeuw. In deel II worden de stadsmerken besproken, waarbij de aandacht gaat naar de talrijke wijzigingen. Die waren het gevolg van de vele veranderingen van regime en bijgevolg ook van reglementering. Die was beurtelings Bourgondisch, Spaans, Frans, Oostenrijks, en telkens werden nieuwe stadsmerken gebruikt, aangepast aan het nieuwe bewind. Voor de jaarletter, die het jaar van de keuring van het zilverwerk aangeeft, werd ook telkens een nieuw alfabet begonnen bij elke verandering van regime. Na 1749 werd de jaarletter vervangen door de twee laatste cijfers van het jaartal. In de mate van het mogelijke geeft het boek voor elk jaar de foto van de stadsmerken met de jaarletter of laatste cijfers, in totaal 283 foto's. is nog bekend van 1525 tot 1750 dank zij de insculpatieplaten die bewaard worden in de Koninklijke Musea voor Kunst en Geschiedenis te Brussel. Het zijn koperen platen waarop de edelsmeden hun merk moesten slaan en hun naam graveren. Ze worden in de bijlage met foto's afgebeeld. Na 1750 zijn de bronnen eerder zeldzaam omdat het grootste deel van het archief aan parochieregisters, zeldzaam. Een aantal ervan konden nog gevonden worden dank zij de nota's van Arthur Merghelynck, die bewaard worden in de Koninklijke Bibliotheek van Brussel. De edelsmeden van Poperinge en Roeselare waren niet talrijk genoeg om de oprichting van een ambacht te rechtvaardigen. Ze moesten hun werken laten keuren te Ieper. Ze worden ook in het boek besproken. In bijlage wordt een alfabetische index van 122 meesters en een alfabetische index van hun 293 merken opgenomen, waardoor opzoekingen aanzienlijk vergemakkelijkt worden. Un resume et un index des marques en francais donne acces aux notices biographiques.

If These Jewels Could Talk The Legends Behind Celebrity Gems

Size: 290 mm x 237 mm Pages: 256 Illustrations: 216 colour, 64 b&w Hardback. ISBN 9781851498079. The stories behind the great celebrity jewellery collections Featuring the jewels of Grace Kelly, Marlene Dietrich, Jackie Kennedy and many more Chapters on the great collectors of old, and the new celebrity collectors of today Throughout the 20th century, jewellery revealed the behind-the-scenes stories and the plot twists and turns in the real lives of celebrities that will always be larger than life. Some of the world's most fabulous jewels not only illustrated power and status in society but these magical gems held tremendous sentimental value as they were linked to the most significant moments and memories of Hollywood royalty, international aristocracy and international icons of style. If These Jewels Could Talk offers a glimpse into the jewellery boxes of these celebrities - the personal tastes, heartfelt anecdotes and the true tales of the women who wore and collected the pieces. During the early- to mid-20th century, a majority of screen actresses requested to wear their own favourite pieces in films. This offered a peek into some of the great jewellers of the time who were designing for women who could choose anything. Actresses such as Merle Oberon, Paulette Goddard, Joan Crawford, Grace Kelly and Elizabeth Taylor as well as icons such as Jackie Kennedy and The Duchess of Windsor created signature styles for which they became known and which influenced generations of women, becoming part of our collective consciousness. The 20s through the 50s were a time when the renowned jewellery houses were also celebrities in their own right. They mixed with the socialites and royalty they bejewelled. In films, jewellery clearly developed and defined a character's personality - as it did in real life - whether it be a rags-to-riches story or those that figured into the plot: for example, a Cartier bracelet in Alfred Hitchcock's Lifeboat, or a Harry Winston necklace in Notorious. Whether on or off screen, worn by the famed and the legendary, and designed by the most revered houses of the day, all of these jewels take us on a narrative journey that provide fascinating insight into the intriguing worlds of early Hollywood and nobility from the 1920s through to today.
