Antique English Chinoiserie Siver - Ortiz-Patino Collection Catalog @ Sotheby's

Description

The Jaime Ortiz-Patino Collection -English 17th Century Chinoiserie Silver.
The catalog to an auction held in New York by Sotheby's on May 21st, 1992.
A superb collection of late Stuart silver decorated in the "chinoiserie" or "Japanese" style. The silver is spectacular, and what really sets this catalog apart are the superb color photographs, which include many detail shots, and the 24 pages of background essays, including "English 17th century Chinoiserie Silver" by Philippa Glanville and "The 'goose in a dotted circle'; a mystery of the seventeenth century investigated" by John Culme. Descended from a family of collectors (and also of Brazilian tin magnates) Jaime Ortiz-Patino spent 25 years collecting the finest examples of 18th century French and English silver available, and then sold much of his collection when he moved from Switzerland to London.
Hardcover. 8.5"x11", 72 pages, 20 lots, heavily illustrated in color, with several folding plates; some black & white; hardcover, dust jacket. Light wear.
