Renaissance Silver from the Schroder Collection by Deborah Lambert
This catalogue displays the magnificent Schroder collection of Renaissance Silver, which was formed between 1870 and 1930 and includes outstanding historic objects from England, Germany, Italy and elsewhere. Intended as works of art, many incorporate rare or exotic materials, and their complex designs and dense programs of ornament reflect the intellectual pre-occupations of the 16th century mind.
Timothy Schroder is a historian of silver and goldsmiths’ work and a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries. A former Curator of Decorative Arts at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and Consultant Curator at the V&A, he is a trustee of the Wallace Collection and was recently Prime Warden of the Goldsmiths’ Company. Publications include British and Continental Gold and Silver in the Ashmolean Museum (2009) and ‘A Marvel to Behold’, Gold and Silver at the Court of Henry VIII (2020).
