Lisboa. 1974. - SANTOS (Reinaldo dos) & QUILHÓ (Irene) OURIVESARIA Portuguesa nas Colecções Particulares . 2.ª edição revista e ampliada. Lisboa: s.n, 1974. 286 pp.: il.; 325 mm. Second revised and expanded edition, which brings together in a single volume the two volumes of the first edition, published in 1959 and 1960. It adds two collections to those presented in the first edition and increases the number of pieces in another. A study of the evolution of Portuguese civilian goldsmithing through private collections, from the North to the South of the country, in comparison with secular goldsmithing from national and foreign treasures. The classification of the pieces, largely unpublished in the first edition, is based on the evolution of forms, the chronology of marks, and the identification of masters by their hallmarks. The work also points out the influences and affinities with collections from Spain, France, England, North America, the Netherlands, Brazil, and Canada. Profusely illustrated with photographs by Mário Novais, it includes a list of Portuguese goldsmiths' marks from the 15th to the 19th centuries and an extensive bibliographic collection. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
