The technique of the hardstone mosaic was developed in 16th-century Florence. During the 17th century the technique was used in the production of some of the most magnificent luxury objects in Italy. In the 18th century, panels of landscapes, birds and flowers were incorporated into furniture and snuffboxes. This later gave way to the production of pictures in extraordinary convincing imitation of oil paintings. This volume examines the collection in detail, through essays discussing the development of mosaics in semi-precious stones, and in individual entries covering works from Florence and elsewhere in Europe. Notable examples include an inlaid hardstone casket from the court workshop of Rudolph II, and an English cabinet made for Hamilton Palace, incorporating hardstones from the Gobelins workshop of Louis XIV, and jewel-encrusted hardstone snuffboxes from the court workshop of Frederick the Great.

hardcover. Condición: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
