Hardback. Condizione: Good. The curious course of silver through human history unfolds in this rich and engaging book, accompanied by striking illustrations from the British Museum. Philippa Merriman takes the reader back to the earliest uses of silver: in ingots and coins, dowries, hoards, and college plate. She shows us how silver demonstrated status - whether for an individual, as ornament, furnishings, and a store of wealth; or for a society, as grave decor, civic regalia, and ritual goods. And she traces the long and fascinating history of silver's service as personal adornment - on heads, hands, wrists, ears, legs, and feet, and as accessories ranging from swords and baldrics to snuffboxes, walking sticks, fans, and chatelaines. From the practical aspects of working silver to its role in magic, myth, and ritual in cultures as disparate as the Vikings and the Bedouins of North Africa, this exquisite book offers a full and fitting reflection of this precious metal's power to move us.…

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Silver has been mined and worked for some six thousand years, but it was not the earliest precious metal to be discovered by humans. Gold came first, and the skills of metal-working had already been developed before silver became significant. Silver is an element, and is usually found with other metals such as gold, tin, copper or lead. It has special properties which make it suitable for many uses: it can be melted and worked relatively easily, it can be polished to a mirror finish, and it even has antibiotic properties. It has been used over the centuries for coinage, for jewellery and adornment, for high-status vessels and plate. It has been given as gifts on special occasions and associated with magic and the moon. Cultures as disparate as the Vikings and the Bedouins of North Africa told stories and myths about silver and the special status of silver-smiths. Phillipa Merriman, herself a professional silversmith, writes entertainingly about the long and fascinating history of silver around the world. This beautifully-designed book will be a must-buy item for anyone who has ever worn, used or admired silver. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. …
