Silver Boxes
Delieb, Eric
2003 20810 The silver box has fascinated and intrigued collectors for many centuries. It is perhaps safe to say that no other objets de vertu have attracted such vivid attention from maker and collector alike.This book is a comprehensive study of the subject which concentrates on the development of the silver box in England from the 16th to the late 19th centuries.The word "box" covers snuffbox, pyx or lancet case, as long as it possesses a lid, hinged or otherwise, it is a box. The usual snuffboxes and vinaigrettes appear in plenty but have been carefully selected to show the ingenuity of silver craftsmen. Also included are "special purpose" silver boxes: religious, dental and medical, skippet and seal, Masonic, jewel caskets, sweetmeat boxes, pomanders -- even the unique sumptuous Henry VIII "Barber-Surgeons" case' of circa 1512 with its glowing enamels. There is much hitherto unpublished material including pieces from private collections and articles from Livery Companies and other institutions. Antique Collector's Club 1851493131 / 9781851493135
