About this title

Synopsis

Explore a richly illustrated survey of medieval and early modern treasures that brings the world of art and ornament to life.

From engraved plates to dazzling personal jewelry, this volume pairs historical context with detailed images of objects once worn, carried, or used at table and in daily life.

This book presents a sequence of plates and an introductory essay that traces how ancient, Roman, and medieval traditions shaped the crafts of later centuries. You’ll see how jewelers, metalworkers, and engravers transformed utilitarian objects into remarkable works of art, reflecting social status, faith, and spectacle across Europe.

Lavishly illustrated plates of decorative vessels, saltCellars, jewelry, weapons, and ivory carvings from the medieval and Renaissance eras
Essays and notes that place objects in historical and cultural context, revealing evolving styles and techniques
Focus on personal adornments such as fermails (pendants) and the use of symbols, relics, and emblems
Examples drawn from royal inventories and historical collections, including the Londesborough collection

Ideal for readers of art history, antique collecting, and museum catalogs seeking a tangible sense of how past cultures expressed wealth and taste through objects.
