Argenti Da Tavola E Posate

Collected during the last two centuries, the silver of the Counts of Coronini Cronberg di Gorizia, now constitutes one of the most prestigious collections of this Foundation. An extraordinarily rich and surprisingly diverse collection of table silver and cutlery is discussed and illustrated in this volume.The family tradition linked the Coronini to the destiny of the Hapsburg Empire, however the silver reflects only a small part of local taste and though pieces from the Trieste silversmith B nger, Viennese silversmiths such as the Imperial Klinkosh are present in the collection, also a noteworthy nucleus of Russian, English and French examples are all represented in this collection. As a consequence of the complex family lineage and ties which resulted from numerous advantageous marriages in the last decades of the 1800s, the international character of the collection was formed through the important bequests of the early years of the 1900s. Included amongst these are nineteenth century silver, proBenedetti, Serenella Ferrari is the author of 'Argenti Da Tavola E Posate ', published 2007 under ISBN 9788842213321 and ISBN 8842213322.
