Synopsis
Excerpt from A Guide to the Knowledge of Pottery, Porcelain, and Other Objects of Vertu: Comprising an Illustrated Catalogue of the Bernal Collection of Works of Art, With the Prices at Which They Were Sold by Auction, and the Names of the Present Possessors
I have been requested to write a few introductory lines to this Catalogue, and feel it is one of the greatest compliments that could have been paid to me. Nothing I can say would enhance the value of such a collection, and I cannot therefore look on the request in any other light than that of a delicate mode of conferring upon me the privilege of publicly expressing the respect and regard which I have for nearly thirty years entertained for the kind friend, whose sudden and unexpected loss I so deeply deplore.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the artistic and cultural impact of Ralph Bernal, a prominent Victorian collector. With the dawn of the 19th century came an intrigue with medieval design and neo -Gothic ornamentation that Bernal embraced with gusto. The author celebrates Bernal's contributions to contemporary taste during an era of profound societal and technological transformation. Through an eclectic and wide -ranging collection, Bernal pushed the boundaries of artistic appreciation and helped shape the aesthetics of his time. While chronicling Bernal's personal journey as a tastemaker, the author invites reflection on the dynamic interplay between collecting and cultural exchange, highlighting the ongoing influence of historical artifacts on art and design to this day. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331933892_0
