Holland presents a comprehensive survey of silverware through the ages, guiding readers through the identification of hallmarks, styles, and periods, while illuminating the extraordinary craftsmanship behind everything from elegant Georgian coffeepots and ornate candlesticks to delicate salt cellars and decorative boxes.\n\nRich in visual detail and authoritative in tone, the work instructs both the novice enthusiast and the seasoned collector on how to assess quality, provenance, and value with a discerning eye. Holland's prose is precise yet accessible, grounding each piece within its broader historical and artistic context — from the restrained elegance of the Queen Anne period to the exuberant flourishes of the Victorian era. A treasury of knowledge as polished as the objects it chronicles, this volume leaves the reader wondering what undiscovered masterpiece might be waiting at the next antique fair.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51022571077851,"sku":"2026100010171-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/0aa5ebb0-3d9f-4ada-a14b-e5f6f07ff42f.png?v=1793665128","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100010171-secondhand-silver-an-illustrated-guide-to-collecting-silver","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
