 | SCHRODER, TIMOTHY B. THE GILBERT COLLECTION OF GOLD AND SILVER Los Angeles, Los Angeles County Museum of Art., 1988, First Edition 1/5000. (ISBN: 0-87587-144-5) Cloth in Dust Jacket, 4to, 688pp, profusely illustrated in black and white. The Gilbert Collection was formed over four decades by the late Sir Arthur Gilbert; a Brit who moved to California in 1949. Attracted by its historical and decorative qualities, he first started to collect English silver, later graduating to Italian mosaics, Roman enamel mosaics, portrait miniatures and gold boxes. Many of these collections, such as this one were exhibited at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art - who hoped to receive them ultimately as donations. Today, they are instead found at London's newly restored Somerset House, where a sequence of seventeen galleries creates an impressive setting for a unique display of English and Continental treasures. Published in conjunction with a 1988 LACMA exhibition, this extravagant volume documents one hundred and seventy gold and silver objects of vertu from one of the most distinguished private collections of its kind. A pristine copy in the publisher's unprinted cardboard slipcase, as issued.
