Catalogue-guide of the exhibition of Portuguese goldsmithing within the scope of the National Commemorations of 1940, which marked the centenaries of the Foundation (1140) and the Restoration (1640). Dedicated to national production between the 12th and 17th centuries, the exhibition brought together a remarkable collection of goldsmithing pieces, mainly of a sacred nature, covering the period in which this art reached its greatest splendor in Portugal, from the Romanesque period to Mannerism. Integrated into the vast cultural program of the Centenaries, it constituted one of the most important exhibitions of its kind organized in Portugal in the first half of the 20th century, and its illustrated catalog remains a reference document for the history and historiography of Portuguese goldsmithing.
