EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable silver gilt cup and cover from the late 17th century. Created in London between 1669-1670, this exquisite cagework presentation cup is believed to be the work of either Christian van Vianen or Gerard Cooqus, both renowned goldsmiths of their time. The intricate design features stylized foliage and what appears to be a majestic peacock perched atop the cup. Supported by clawed feet, this piece exudes elegance and craftsmanship. The photograph is taken from "The South Kensington Museum" an engraved illustration book that offers a glimpse into the extensive collection housed at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London (formerly known as the South Kensington Museum). Published in 1881 by Sampson Low, Marston, Searle and Rivington, this print allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of this historic artifact but also its significance within art history. With its detailed etching capturing every delicate detail, this image transports viewers back in time to an era when such masterpieces adorned royal courts. The silver gilt cup stands as a testament to the skillful artistry of its creators and serves as a reminder of England's rich artistic heritage. As we admire this stunning piece through W T Roberts' lens, we are reminded of how art transcends time and connects us with our cultural past.
