But nearly all of these holdings were destroyed over the following century, and no more than a handful have survived to modern times. This book makes use of the wealth of
- [Studies in Irish Georgian Silver by Alison Fitzgerald](https://www.thesilversociety.org/studies-in-irish-georgian-silver-by-alison-fitzgerald/) - Irish silver, for long renowned among collectors and connoisseurs, is increasingly being considered as an aspect of the material world of the past. Its making, acquisition and use tells much about past attitudes and behaviour. At the same time, careful examination of surviving articles not only adds to appreciation of the design and craftsmanship but
- [A Craftsman’s Journey - Phil Barnes](https://www.thesilversociety.org/a-craftsmans-journey-phil-barnes/) - Linda Barnes & Gordon Hamme have collaborated on writing the life story of the world class enameller Phil Barnes. Barnes had always intended to publish an account of life in the workshop not only as a personal history but as an important social history of the jewellery trade. The text includes his written record and

Available from Amazon, Waterstones and Blackwell’s. Given scant attention in most guides to antique silver and rarely illustrated in pre-internet auction catalogues, lemon strainers (sometimes called orange or punch strainers) are beautiful and very

First-generation Huguenot refugees included hundreds of trained artists, designers, and craftsmen. Beyond the French borders,

Launching the competition last December, the BATF invited submissions from UK-based designers and silversmiths based on the theme of ‘plant a tree for the Jubilee’. The
- [Silversmiths](https://www.thesilversociety.org/silversmiths/) - The terms goldsmith and silversmith are in most respects interchangeable, although until the eighteenth century a goldsmith might be someone whose business either wholly or partly involved banking. A silversmith might be a man who made things, or who specialised in one aspect of the craft, or he might be the head of a large
- [Church and other sacred silver](https://www.thesilversociety.org/church-and-other-sacred-silver/) - Gold and silver are ’clean’ metals and more durable than glass, thus highly suitable materials for the utensils required by both the Christian and Jewish religions. However the cost was prohibitive for some churches, chapels and synagogues, and pewter was used to a lesser extent. The large quantity of sacred vessels accumulated by many cathedrals
- [Food](https://www.thesilversociety.org/food/) - What you eat influences the utensils you need, and availability of ingredients influences cooking. Food is as subject to fashion and finance as any of the creative arts. It is also subject to etiquette, and how food is served and eaten changes between generations, seasons and regions. To understand how a table was laid, we
- [Making silver](https://www.thesilversociety.org/making-silver/) - Many of the techniques used in working gold and silver have remained unchanged for centuries. However craftsmen adapt new equipment that may originally have been developed for other disciplines, and this can affect both the construction and decoration of their work. At any given time craftsmen in a particular town or country were particularly skilled
- [Contemporary silver](https://www.thesilversociety.org/contemporary-silver/) - Silver is at the cutting edge of contemporary design and is thriving. Silversmiths are developing new techniques and the ’look’ of silver is as exciting now as it must have been at any of the highpoints of the past. With the closure of many manufacturing firms in recent years, attention is focussing on individual craftsmen
- [Owners](https://www.thesilversociety.org/owners/) - Fortunately it has long been the custom to engrave silver with armorials and inscriptions, and because of the inherent value of the material, it is usually recorded in household inventories and accounts of the wealthier households and institutions. To be able to trace the history of an object through armorials, find a portrait of the
- [Design](https://www.thesilversociety.org/design/) - The word ’design’ has in one sense been hijacked by devotees of the twentieth century. Design, style and taste should not be confused. Good design is one of the components to look for when judging the quality of a piece. The word is used loosely to mean the best of any period: form and ornament
- [Use it . . . ?](https://www.thesilversociety.org/use-it/) - It’s sleek, it’s chic, and it looks good anywhere. Yes . . . use it! Eat with it, put spoons and forks in the dishwasher (new dishwashers are far more silver-friendly than old ones) or just wash it. Put paperclips in a silver bowl (but not rubber bands), keep your pills in a silver box,
- [Where to see silver](https://www.thesilversociety.org/where-to-see-silver/) - The best way to learn about silver is to see it and, most importantly, to handle it. It is always possible to handle items for sale at fairs, auction houses and with dealers. See News and events and Where to buy silver. See links for a selection of museums with good collections of silver, but there are of course hundreds
- [Books on silver](https://www.thesilversociety.org/books-on-silver/) - Our knowledge of silver has been transformed over the past 50 years as scholars and collectors build on the work of their predecessors and break new ground in attempting to understand our subject. Their work is published in general and specialist books, in exhibition catalogues and in catalogues of collections worldwide – and, of course,
- [Falling foul of the law](https://www.thesilversociety.org/falling-foul-of-the-law/) - It was so easy to go bankrupt if clients took years to pay their bills, so enticing to dodge duty and fudge the marks on a recently-made piece, so tempting to risk transportation by stealing a teaspoon if you were hungry. And, once an antiquarian interest developed in old silver, it was a simple matter
- [The whole picture](https://www.thesilversociety.org/the-whole-picture/) - Don’t look at silver in isolation. It is part of a panoply of three-dimensional objects, ’flat’ art and architecture that form our inheritance. Paintings, tapestries and drawings are crucial to our understanding of silver. They depict objects that have not survived, show us how silver was used (particularly on the dining table), enable us to
- [A precious metal](https://www.thesilversociety.org/a-precious-metal/) - For hundreds of years currency and objects made of silver were, by law, of the same alloy. Wrought plate could be converted into currency, and vice versa. Before banking was formalised many goldsmiths acted as bankers and their dual role continued into the eighteenth century. Ownership of objects in silver and gold was both an
- [How the trade worked](https://www.thesilversociety.org/how-the-trade-worked/) - Understanding how the trade worked is like piecing together a vast jigsaw, each piece of the puzzle representing a skill that was part of a grid as sophisticated as anything we know today, each small network linked at some point to several others. Increasingly we are investigating the suppliers of bullion, the specialist workshops who
- [State](https://www.thesilversociety.org/state/) - Anyone who watched the coffin of H.M. Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother processed through London, will understand the mesmeric effect of a jewelled crown. Regalia still has its place. Gold and silver symbolise power and authority as well as wealth. They have been acknowledged as ’precious’ metals for thousands of years and as such have
- [Trophies](https://www.thesilversociety.org/trophies/) - Think of Wimbledon, the World Cup, and horse racing past and present, think of local swimming galas and gymnastics. What do you get if you win? A trophy usually made of silver or, at the smaller events, electroplate. The earliest horse racing prizes for major races were sometimes of gold and nearly always in the
- [Drink](https://www.thesilversociety.org/drink/) - Collecting objects relating to wine is as much a passion for some people as drinking it is for others. The subject embraces a huge range of objects and there are societies for collectors of wine labels and corkscrews, which of course are also made in materials other than silver. Beakers, goblets, and wine cups come
- [Lighting](https://www.thesilversociety.org/lighting/) - Silver looks its best by candlelight. Perhaps for this reason, and because candles are still widely used even after the introduction of oil, gas and electricity, there are still relatively large quantities of silver candlesticks surviving from the mid-seventeenth century onwards. Candlesticks have to withstand heavy usage and so metals, including brass and pewter, have
- [Smallwork](https://www.thesilversociety.org/smallwork/) - The term smallwork covers a wide range of items made for personal use, as souvenirs and gifts, as novelties. It includes bits and pieces for the desk or dressing table, smoking, card games, toys for children and adults, and things to have about your person, such as buttons, buckles, seals, lorgnettes, an etui, or a
- [Where to buy silver](https://www.thesilversociety.org/where-to-buy-silver/) - A shop front such as the one shown here is rarely, if ever, seen today. The buying public can no longer expect to find a well-stocked retail silversmith in every provincial town, nor even in a capital city, as was the case 50 years ago. But there are many ways of buying silver of all
