This book is a comprehensive, well illustrated guide to one of the
most important collections of 18th-century silver in Europe,
extending to nearly a thousand individual pieces, being of the
highest quality, style and exuberance of form and surviving
virtually intact along with extensive and previously untapped
archival evidence of its commissioning and use. The book analyses
the silver from stylistic and technical perspectives and uses it to
shed light on the patronage, fashion, and diplomatic, political and
social history of the period. It also casts new light on the
Herveys, one of England's most famous and eccentric aristocratic
families.
