OLD ENGLISH PLATE: Ecclesiastical, Decorative, and Domestic: Its Makers and Marks  by Wilfred Joseph Cripps, Spring Books, London, 1878/1967.  

This comprehensive out-of-print book, which first appeared in 1878, contains not only invaluable text on gold and silver plate, but also over 2,600 makers’ marks and date letters, 122 black-and-white illustrations, and 13 half-tone plates.   “The title is misleading; the book covers not only England, but also Scotland and Ireland, with some reference to French trade guilds.  It is carefully organized, beginning with an introductory survey of gold and silver, which have been prized for many centuries.  The various alloys – so necessary but tempting to the fraudulent – are carefully explained.  Subsequent chapters cover the history of the goldsmiths’ and silversmiths’ crafts, with the complex legislation associated with them, followed by extensive descriptions of the articles themselves, from communion cups to cake-baskets, many of which are illustrated.  One of the most valuable features is the exhaustive treatment of plate marks, over 2,600 of which are illustrated.  The book ends with a useful index, which not only covers the subject-matter of the various chapters, but also contains key references to many plate marks, thus being an extremely helpful aid to identification.”  This text is an invaluable resource reference for the collector, dealer, or historian of antique silver and gold plate metal wares.  5.7” x 8.9” hardback with dust cover in very good condition.  519 pages.  FREE  media mail shipping and handling for deliveries within the 50 United States.  Rates vary for international mailings.   MULTIPLE BOOK PURCHASE DISCOUNTS AVAILABLE:  Buy 3-5 books  and receive a 10% DISCOUNT and FREE shipping within the 48 United States.  Buy 6-19 books   and receive a 20% DISCOUNT and FREE shipping within the 48 United States. ©2004
