About the Item

Miniature Silver Toys by Victor Houart. New York: Publishers of Fine Art Books, 1981. Hardcover with dust jacket. 237 pp. An extensive study of the art of miniature silver toys and their skilled silversmiths of the 17th and 18th centuries. These miniature masterpieces are often crafted of chased silver–an extremely difficult technique to master. These silver toys furnished the doll's houses of past generations and are faithful reflections of the customs and furnishing of our ancestors. NPT Books a division of N.P. Trent Antiques has a large collection of used and out of print books on art, architecture, decoration and antiques with a focus on 1st editions, signed and limited editions.
