Naef, Ernest. "L'ETAIN ET LE LIVRE DES POTIERS d'ETAIN GENEVOIS"

Geneve; S.A. des Editions "Sonor": 1920.
Edition limited to 385 numbered copies,
plus 35 special copies; this one of the 385,
but unnumbered.

A massive study of the 16th-19th century pewter and pewterers of Geneva.
Complete with large b/w plates, marks, history and pewterers biographies,
and a bibliography. There may well have been a larger, more sumptuous tome
dedicated to this subject, but I've never seen it. Hardcover. 10"x13", 290
pages, 24 b/w plates plus other b/w and line illustrations. Bound in
handsome quarter leather and linen; ribbed spine, gilt titles, marbled
endpapers. A little light wear, but a very nice copy. [05006] $400.00
