Silver, porcelain and ruby glass seem unlikely bedfellows, yet the
objects in the Zilkha Collection are all united by the medium of
silver or luxury metalwork. The objects were also made, for the
most part, over about a century and a half. All of them tell a
fascinating story of the particular circumstances that produced
them: a maker, a workshop, a patron. They also tell the wider story
of the society that made them necessary or desirable; the science
that made them possible; and of their survival down the centuries.
Therefore their appeal is more than just aesthetic, and their
design and decoration often speak of the intellectual or religious
climate of their time. This book, which will be of interest to
serious students of the decorative arts, has a wider purpose too:
it aims to show something of these old objects in the context of an
early twenty-first-century Californian home and in the lives and
interests of the collectors who have brought them together.
