About this product

Product Information

Beyond the Border sets the lives and work of Huguenot goldsmiths in the context of the different societies in which they lived and worked. Contributor Michele Bimbenet Privat examines the lives and work of Huguenot goldsmiths in France during the times of tolerance of the Protestant religion in the 16th and 17th centuries. She explains how Protestant craftsmen dominated regional centers but found establishing a presence in the metropolis more challenging. Contributor Jet Pijzel-Dommisse charts the influence of the Louis XIV style on the leading Dutch goldsmiths in the late 17th and 18th centuries and demonstrates that, in contrast to London, first generation Huguenot goldsmiths played only a minor role in their adopted cities of The Hague and Amsterdam. In contrast, those who settled in Berlin and Kassel, often from Metz in Northern France, made a greater impact through the purity of style in which they continued to work in the 18th century. Those who settled in the English speaking world benefitted from the ambitious patronage of noble and professional clients. First generation Huguenot goldsmiths in London set the pace for the next generation which produced in Paul de Lamerie one of the most successful craft businesses of his generation. Beyond the Border also explores the transatlantic links between the Huguenot goldsmiths who settled in Europe and America. Goldsmiths who settled in the American colonies had more in common stylistically with those who worked in Dublin and Cork.

"Impressive and beautifully illustrated. For anyone interested in silver, the decorative arts, or Huguenot history in the late 17th and 18th centuries, this book brings together disparate themes in a thought provoking way, especially since it relies on the most recent scholarship and includes essays by experts from several countries."  - Huguenot Times, "A solid, beautiful, and exceptionally well documented piece of silver literature." -- Silver Magazine, "Impressive and beautifully illustrated.

Divided into two parts, the first discusses the goldsmiths in northern Europe, namely France (prior to the revocation of the Edict of Nantes), The Hague, Berlin, and Cassel, while the second examines the craftsmen in English-speaking areas such as Ireland and colonial New York, Philadelphia, Boston, and Charleston; this section also includes a discussion of international influences on second-generation Huguenot goldsmiths in London. Appendices list biographical details of the goldsmiths listed in each geographic location." - Reference & Research Book News,  "A solid, beautiful, and exceptionally well documented piece of silver literature."  - Silver Magazine

The book is a new copy (as I ordered). Arrived within the frame time. There was no way to track the shipping (which was annoying but I didn't try to contact the seller). The book was packaged in a secure envelope which protected it.
