With over six thousand objects coming largely from Europe and Asia,
the Villa San Luca in Ospedaletti (province of Imperia) is a
splendid villa-museum set up by antique dealers and collectors
Luigi Anton and Nera Laura, donated to the FAI - Fondo Ambiente
Italiano, in 2001. It is one of Italy's most important private
collections dedicated to the decorative arts. This catalogue
presents a selection of the most representative pieces of the vast
and diverse collection of silver produced in various European
nations from the 17th to the first third of the 19th century: from
the old Germanic States to those of the Italian peninsula, from
France to England. The objects described in these pages testify to
the great skill of master silversmiths in forging the precious
metal while following the artistic trends of the moment, as well as
proposing a 'nearly complete' compendium of the main types of
tableware and household utensils in use on the tables of the upper
classes over three centuries of European history. Text in English
and Italian.
