Renaissance And Baroque Silver, Mounted Porcelain And Ruby Glass From The Zilkha Collection

Silver, porcelain and ruby glass seem unlikely bedfellows, yet the objects in the Zilkha Collection are all united by the medium of silver or luxury metalwork. The objects were also made, for the most part, over about a century and a half. All of them tell the story of the particular circumstances that produced them and of the society that made them necessary
This book aims to show these old objects in the context of an early twenty-first-century Californian home and in the lives and interests of the collectors who have brought them together.
