Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The silver described in this book represents a unique selection of typical and rare pieces from the finest period of London silver-making, illustrating the development of style in the eighteenth century from Queen Anne to Rococo and early Neoclassicism. All the silver was produced or hallmarked by three generations of the Courtauld family.

There are chapters on the Courtauld family; the making and marketing of silver; silver for the new hot drinks (tea, coffee, chocolate), for candlesticks and correspondence, for dining and display; and on early Huguenot silver.
