"Stuart Devlin was probably the most original and creative
goldsmith and silversmith of his time, and one of the greats of all
time. His originality of design marked him out as a master
craftsman and his prolific output was a tribute to the width of his
imagination." - Foreword by His Royal Highness The Duke of
Edinburgh. This book gives an idea of Stuart Devlin's extraordinary
creativity, his skill, and the beauty of his work. It comprises
over 500 pages with hundreds of images of Devlin's gold, silver and
coins as well as his jewellery, sculpture and furniture. Many
collectors will recognise pieces that they originally commissioned
or have bought. Also shown are numerous sketches and working
drawings. The short sections of text include concise captions and
reviews from primary sources. Although it has been impossible to
encompass everything ever designed or produced by Devlin, the book
highlights how remarkable it is that this wealth of ideas was
conceived by just one man. Stuart Devlin was a pioneer goldsmith
who rejected the anonymity of corporate design during the 1960s. He
adapted old techniques and devised many new ones. His commissions
included those for the Royal Households, cathedrals, the armed
forces, sporting bodies and universities, as well as abundant
private commissions. He was also a coin and medal designer.
Australian born, recognition came to Devlin after designing the
Australian decimal coinage in 1963. He went on to design coins for
more than 30 countries.
