About the Item

English Enamel Boxes From the 18th to the 2oth C. Susan Benjamin Hardcover Book, 1st Edition Published by Orbis Publishing, 1978. Synopsis: Small and beautifully crafted, the small enamel box, or "Battersea" as it was widely known, is highly prized by antique collectors world-wide. Susan Benjamin traces its history from its origins in the 1740s through to modern-day incarnations. The enigmatic "Battersea" rarely carries any identifying marks, creating confusion for the would-be collector. Benjamin shows how pieces can be dated and sourced, revealing the characteristic traits of individual factories. With an enthusiastic yet scholarly text, accompanied by colour illustrations, the book is aimed at both the collector and the amateur enthusiast. About the Author: Susan Benjamin is an expert on both the history and the craft of the English Enamel Box, with over 20 years experience; her enthusiasm led her to revive the craft in England. She runs Halcyon Days in Mayfair, London, which uniquely specializes in both antique and modern enamels. Title: English Enamel Boxes : From the Eighteenth to the Twentith centuries. Publisher: Orbis Books (London) Limited Publication Date: 1978 Binding: Hardcover Condition: Good Edition: First Edition.
