Hallmarks, guaranteeing the honesty of the metal and maker alike,
have been used in Scotland since the sixteenth century. The 550th
anniversary of Scottish hallmarking in 2008 is being celebrated
with an exhibition in Nation Museums Scotland (25 January - 27
April 08)which gathers together for the first time all the most
important examples of marked Scottish silver and gold, most from
NMS' unrivalled collections. The exhibition and the accompanying
book are concerned not only with silver and gold vessels, from
earliest surviving marked examples right up to pieces made today,
but also with the people who made them and the people for whom they
were made. Objects, historic records, paintings, illustrations and
contemporary accounts will be combined to present a dazzling
display. The book distils the exhibition, making it a must for
silver enthusiasts and collectors everywhere.
