This catalogue raisonné is the first study of this area of the Royal Collection for more than a

hundred years. Extensive research has uncovered

much new information relating to the European

silver in the Collection since the last publication on

the subject in the early twentieth century. The catalogue discusses more than 350 objects

of pre-twentieth-century European silver from

France, Germany, the Netherlands and Russia, with

a smaller collection of pieces from Italy, Scandinavia,

Spain, Portugal and the Austro-Hungarian empire.

An introduction on the history of collecting

European silver is followed by catalogue entries on silver objects used for dining and drinking, tea,

coffee and chocolate wares; toilet services;

desk accessories and church plate. Highlights

include the German

Kunstkammer

objects acquired by George

IV .
