paperback. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The silver described in this book represents a unique selection of typical and rare pieces from the finest period of London silver-making, illustrating the development of style in the eighteenth century from Queen Anne to Rococo and early Neoclassicism. All the silver was produced or hallmarked by three generations of the Courtauld family. There are chapters on the Courtauld family; the making and marketing of silver; silver for the new hot drinks (tea, coffee, chocolate), for candlesticks and correspondence, for dining and display; and on early Huguenot silver. Helen Braham is curator of sculpture and the decorative arts at the Courtauld Institute Gallery, London. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
