Description The Price Guide to ANTIQUE SILVER by Peter Waldron in hardcover 365 pages of vintage inspiration with clear plastic jacket.
Antique silver is one of the oldest and best loved collecting subjects. At the top end of the quality scale, the work that went into making a fine piece was of an extremely high order. However, the majority of silver was used in the middle levels of British society and the collector has clearly to understand the varying qualities of production that he encounters if he is to buy well and avoid inferior pieces. In addition, the collector must understand what can happen to a piece during its lifetime. On the one hand it can acquire a supurb patination, and on the other, it can be dented, bent, broken, marked or even altered to enhance its apparent quality. The consideration of all these practical factors and many others is covered in this second edition. The pieces are arranged chronologically within each main subject heading so that developing styles may be clearly understood, while the 1100 photographs have been specially selected by the author.

Description The INCREDIBLE BALL POINT PEN a comprehensive price guide 166 pages softcover The Incredible Ball Point Pen tells the story of the ball point pen's painful development, its cacophonous launching, the public hysteria accompanying its debut, and its outrageous and scandalous promotion. It recounts the fabulous riches which followed, the public's rapid and total disillusionment with the product, the collapse of the market, scientific breakthroughs in the 1950s, the industry's resurrection, myriad improvements occurring from 1950 to 1959, and the modern period from 1960 on. This is the most exhaustive work available on early ball point brands, manufacturers, and models. It includes over 400 photos of pens, copies of original ads, patents, documentation, and a comprehensive spotter and price guide.

Great Houses of Europe emerges from a quest to find the best houses on the continent.

This large–format volume presents 200 masterful images by Country Life photographer Alex Starkey, while Marcus Binney’s narrative offers revealing insights into the history of these remarkable houses. From the dramatic Swedish post–Renaissance Castle Skokloster—with arguably the finest interiors in Europe—to the extraordinary Villa Kerylos on the French Riviera and the Venetian Palazzo Abruzzi, Great Houses of Europe offers a vivid portrait of a rich architectural heritage. Marcus Binney is the Architecture Correspondent of the London Times; Alex Starkey, a staff photographer at Country Life for 35 years, is widely acknowledged as a master of natural–light photography.

Salvator Rosa painted some of the most memorable landscapes in a century that excelled in depicting the countryside. His threatening rocks and storm-shattered pines epitomise the Sublime, in contrast to Claude's golden sunsets. However, in his own eyes his history paintings, which include thrilling scenes of violence and tragedy, were more important. His wayward temperament and furious insistence on the independence of the artist made relations with patrons difficult, but, despite this, he made an international reputation for himself.

With glorious color photography and engaging text, Hidden Tuscany brings readers to the lesser-known sites-to the gardens, villas, museums, and churches often passed by on traditional tours or in other books on the area.

| Title Italy History and Landscape by Eugene Beer hardback | |
  |
Italy History and Landscape by Eugene Beer hardback with original dust jacket. In Italy lies a beautiful Roman ruin, a breathtaking Renaissance church , or a timeless village view. But it is not just the buildings that are beautiful: Italy's landscapes-high mountains, rolling hills and valleys, and sun-washed coasts have inspired generations of writers and painters. Italians seem to have an innate feeling for color and design, and when you study their countryside it comes as no surprise that so many of the world's greatest artist,poets,and musicians came from or were drawn to this stunning land. Filled with wonderful photography, Italy: History and Landscape explores the country by regions. Each section gives a flavor of the area,its countryside and historic buildings,from the snowy Alps of the North,through the magical atmosphere of Venice and the Veneto, romantic Tuscany,and central Italy-Perugia and Umbria, Lazio and Emilia Romagna-to the hot Mediterranean island of Sicily and Sardinia From the library of a Professor ex Werrington House ( 1832) Excellent condition

| Title GERMAN CASTLES AND PALACES by Klaus Merten in hardback format with original dust jacket | |
  |
GERMAN CASTLES AND PALACES by Klaus Merten in hardback format with original dust jacket Germany has a wealth of magnificent palaces and castles, rich in art and history. Photographed by Paolo Marton and described by a team of local scholars, this collection of photographs records an incredible number of architectural styles, from the Gothic severity of Schloss Gattorf to the fin-de-siecle madness of King Ludwig's Bavarian castles. Many, such as Berlin's Charlottenburg and Wurzburg's Residenz with its splendid Tiepolo frescoes are popular tourist sites. Others, equally grand, are relatively unknown. Here are enchanting pavilions, beautiful formal gardens, magnificent interiors and their priceless contents. The book also contains an introduction to the princely states, maps, a glossary and a bibliography. From the library of a Professor ex Werrington House ( 1832) Excellent condition

| Title ITALIAN GARDENS by Helena Attlee in hardback | |
  |
Description ITALIAN GARDENS by Helena Attlee in hardback with original dust jacket. To many of us, the great gardens of Italy seem like paradise on earth. But how much do we know of their history, and the people who created them? In this ravishing book, illustrated with contemporary paintings, drawings and prints as well as photographs of the gardens today, Helena Attlee tells their story. She starts with Petrarch – still looking to medieval chronicles for advice on how and when to plant – and goes on to the Renaissance and those first gardens to emerge from architects' plans. Then she describes the great gardens of the Medici; the first botanic gardens; the weird Mannerist gardens and their grottoes followed by the Baroque splendour of Isola Bella and the Villa Aldobrandini; the Neoclassical and Picturesque gardens of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries; and how, in the twentieth century, expatriates with money to lavish on their villas and gardens brought new delights.

| Title Set of four engraving Roman Emperor medallions in gilt frames after Jegher-Goltzius woodcuts | |
     |
Set of four engraving Antique Roman Emperor coins in gilt frames after Jegher-Goltzius woodcuts of the 17th century. Mounted under glass and in gilt frame. These are reprints of the original chiarusco woodcut (with brown tone) combined with a line etching, on a verge type hand laid paper. The original print originates from an edition of Hubert Goltzius' 'Icones Imperatorum Romanorum' (this edition is not dated). The first edition of this work was published between 1557 and 1560 in Antwerp by J. Coppens van Diest. Given the appearance of eg. Rudolph II in this edition, some portraits were added after Goltzius' time in later editions. Artists and Engravers: Hubert Goltzius is often credited with etching the portraits. Christoffel Jegher made the woodcuts. Christoffel Jegher (1596-1652/3) was a wood engraver born at Antwerp. He worked for Rubens from 1627 and is probably a pupil of Christoffel van Sichem. Hubert Goltzius (1526-1583) was a Dutch humanist author, antiquarian and numismatist. He was born in Venlo, and studied under Lambert Lombard in Liege and later in Antwerp. He settled in Bruges in 1558 and starts publishing several works on ancient numismatics.
