"Buccellatti: a name that connotes jewelry throughout the world. Jewelry worthy of the great Renaissance goldsmiths, yet completely up to date, unmistakable. The secret of the Buccellati myth is an engraving technique that seems to transform gold and silver into precious fabric–tulle, damask, or silk–or objects of the natural world like the leaves of trees or soft feathers." Corgnati) Beautifully illustrated with portrait photos in color an b/w in the chapter on family history at front, and color photographs of the intricate designs that made Buccellati famous throughout. Fine condition. Item #56073
