Ivory has been held in the highest esteem for millennia. This
comprehensive and authoritative study of this beautiful and
versatile material provides a global history of ivory - from the
myths and beliefs held by prehistoric man, through its utilitarian
uses in the Arctic and the beautiful carvings in medieval Europe,
to its links with war, the slave trade, and religion. Covering in
detail its composition and unique properties, its sources in the
animal kingdom and their conservation status, the book demonstrates
how ageing and the different types of ivory and its imitations can
be tested for and identified with confidence. Ivory also explores
how it has been worked by craftsmen and used over the years, from
carving and marquetry to the manufacture of black paint, as well as
the methods employed. Sound advice and useful tips are provided on
caring for ivory and on how to deal with ivory that has been
damaged, for example, by stains, scratches, cracks, or dirt.
Lavishly illustrated throughout with colour photographs, Ivory is
an invaluable guide for collectors, antique dealers, curators,
gemmologists, conservationists and frequenters of flea markets, as
well as those who simply love this attractive material.
