Antique Sterling Silver Welsh Church Plate Diocese of Bangor Wales 1906 Catalog

Description

The Church Plate of the Diocese of Bangor.
– – –
By E. Alfred Jones.
Published in London by Bemrose and Sons in 1906.
An exhaustive survey of antique Welsh plate from this somewhat scattered diocese which includes Llandudwen, Clynnog, Llandwrog, Llanberis, Mallwyd, and of course Bangor itself, with its cathedral. This catalog includes several Elizabethan-era pieces, as well as a good selection of 17th and 18th century pieces, all carefully photographed. Jones provides a detailed commentary on the silver itself and the stylistic trends in Welsh silver they illustrate; he also has a few words to say about the then-prevalent practice of “converting” old silver to more “useful” or “pretty” forms…
Hardcover. 9″x12″, 160 pages, plus 34 black & white plates. Covers with moderate soil and light spots; corner bump, some rubbing. Light internal soil, endpapers toned.
