Description

The Age of Grandeur builds upon the best-selling Understanding Jewellery by Daniela Mascetti and David Bennett, which is considered to be one of the most important and frequently referenced books on jewellery ever produced.

This new edition, revised and expanded, sees the authors focus solely on the 19th century, bringing with it over 250 new colour photographs of jewellery from this most celebrated era. Taking the reader through the history of jewellery over the decades, we learn how and why particular styles came about and then changed.

From Napoleonic classicism and Victorian sentimental and memorial jewellery, through the Romantic era and its penchant for naturalism, the Gothic style and recreation of the Renaissance and, finally, the unique designs of the Art Nouveau, Art Deco and Arts and Crafts periods, this comprehensive study enlightens and fascinates.

With stunning photographs accompanying us on our journey through the decades, creating a rich visual history that brings the text to life, this book remains the essential bible on 19th-century jewellery.
