The Fitzwilliam Museum, University of Cambridge, holds stunning
examples of jewellery and metalwork from the late nineteenth and
early twentieth centuries. This exceptional period of design covers
the neo-Gothic and historicist designs of the mid- to late
nineteenth century, the groundbreaking work of British Arts &
Crafts designers, sinuous curves influenced by the European Art
Nouveau movement and the structural modernity of the 1930s. The
collection contains jewellery by some of the finest historicist
designers, including the Castellani and Giuliano families and John
Brogden, as well as a spectacular decanter by William Burges. There
are important pieces of jewellery and silver by the most famous of
Arts & Crafts designers, including C.R. Ashbee, Henry Wilson,
Gilbert Marks and John Paul Cooper. Unique pieces designed by the
artist Charles Ricketts hold a special place in the history of
queer art in Britain, having been designed for his friends
Katherine Bradley and Edith Cooper, a couple known collectively as
Michael Field. Modernist silver is represented by leaders of the
field Omar Ramsden and H.G. Murphy. This beautifully illustrated
volume reproduces 70 of the Museum's most important pieces from
this period, many previously unpublished, with comparative
illustrations of some of the original designs. Importantly, the
book is arranged chronologically by designer and includes
biographies, a description of their work and how it changed over
time, as well as commentary about the specific works in the
Museum's collection. The resulting book therefore brings together
for the first time the Fitzwilliam's exceptionally fine holdings of
jewellery and metalwork from this highly popular and fruitful
period of design.
