Trigt, Jan Van. CUTLERY. FROM GOTHIC TO ART DECO. THE J. HOLLANDER
COLLECTION.

Pandora: 2003.

There are no words to adequately describe the 534 sets of antique cutlery
illustrated and described here. I'm not sure how anyone could eat while
holding such objects- you'd just sit there, staring at the intricate
details and wonderful carving or enamel or engraved work. One might
literally starve while attempting to dine. There are knives and forks with
handles of carved bone and ivory, decorated porcelain, gleaming enamels,
chased, gilt or engraved silver, handles of coral and agate and other
semi-precious stones, traveling cutlery of brass or mother-of-pearl...
there are heads, stags, flowers, scrolls, bears, priests, angels, buxom
women and bearded sages. There may even be buxom sages, I've lost track.
Published at the time of the exhibition of the Hollander Collection at the
Design Museum of Ghent in 2003. Essential for the lover of silver, and
cutlery. Essential even if you don't love cutlery. It's that good.

Hardcover. 10"x12", 298 pages, color illustrations, dj; bibliography. New.
[90168] $75.00
