Description

First published in 1950, "Ango-Saxon Jewellery" gives a detailed account of historical Christian jewellery in England. This detailed and profusely-illustrated study contains a wealth of interesting information pertaining to the history and development of English jewellery, as well as descriptions and analyses of notable pieces contemporarily housed in museums. This volume is highly recommended for those with an interest in the evolution of jewellery, and it is not to be missed by the discerning collector or dealer. Contents include: "Preface", "Introduction", "Notes on the Plates", "Appendix", "Index". Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the history of the piano.
