Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "A Beautiful Minor Art" is an authoritative exploration of the intricate and refined craft of pique work. Written by Herbert C. Dent, a distinguished collector and expert in the field, this volume provides a comprehensive study of the art of decorating materials such as tortoiseshell and ivo…ry with delicate inlays of gold and silver. This specialized technique, which flourished during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, represents a unique intersection of craftsmanship and luxury.The work examines the historical development of pique, tracing its evolution from its early French origins through the various stylistic shifts of the Louis XIV, Louis XV, and Louis XVI periods, as well as its adoption and adaptation by English artisans. Dent offers detailed observations on the technical methods used to create these exquisite patterns, whether in the form of "pique point" or "pique pose." Collectors and art historians will find valuable insights into the identification and classification of different styles, ranging from snuff boxes and jewelry to larger ornamental pieces. By highlighting the aesthetic beauty and technical precision of these objects, "A Beautiful Minor Art" serves as an essential reference for understanding the history of European decorative arts and the mastery of the craftsmen who specialized in this delicate medium.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
