The Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert Collection celebrates some of the
most beautiful objects ever made, many in precious materials, and
often on a small scale. Focussing on 50 exquisite works from the
collection, this beautiful little book showcases the decorative art
of creating small-scale carvings, snuffboxes, inlay pictorial
illusions, and more, in cut-and-polished natural stones, often
incorporating the widely known technique of pietre dure.
Demonstrating remarkable skill and ingenuity, many of the works
were commissioned by the powerful Medici family and royal families
across Europe as symbols of their power and prestige. With detailed
photography and extended captions the books explores the
fascinating interplay of craftsmanship with the natural beauty of
stones such as amethyst, lapis lazuli and jasper.
