About This Item
United Kingdom: Merrell Holberton, 2000. Book. Illus. by Illustrated. New. Cloth. First Edition. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. London: Merrell Holberton, 2000. First Edition. 4to. Cloth binding, 160 pp. Illustrated throughout in color. The art of the silversmith - individual pieces of the highest craftsmanship - is complex and vital, combining ancient skills and techniques with the latest innovations in technology to produce objects that both reflect and challenge current aesthetic ideas. In large color plates, this album presents the work of 60 British and American silversmiths who were commissioned by Benton Seymour Rabinovitch to produce their own designs for a simple serving implement, either a fish server or cake slice. They created an astonishing range of variations on the theme. From ascetically functional to lavishly baroque, these pieces utilize elements of sea life, Scandinavian design, Florida Art Deco, 18th-century Rococo, and totemic, timeless symbols of the natural world to forceful effect. The authors provide a step-by-step guide to commissioning one's own pieces, as well as a historical design context to the last 50 years of the craft. New in new dustjacket..
