EDITORS COMMENTS
The Loan Collection Exhibition at South Kensington, held in 1862, showcased an extraordinary assemblage of design and decorative arts. This photograph offers a glimpse into the grand display, featuring a selection of exquisite objects from various periods and cultures. From left to right, beginning at the top, we find the Largest Known Pearl, a natural wonder that once belonged to Queen Marie Antoinette. Next to it is a Silver Flask, intricately designed with delicate engravings. Following is a Silver-gilt Spoon, its handle adorned with intricate filigree work. The Coffret in Gilt Metal is a beautifully crafted box, while the Silver-gilt Reliquary holds religious relics in its ornate casing. The Double-bulbed Cup, with its unique design, is a testament to the creativity of the time. The Sevigne Gold Open Filigree-work Set with Pearls includes a necklace, earrings, and a brooch, all showcasing the artistry of open filigree work. The Hemispherical Cat's Eye is a stunning gemstone, while the Silver and Silver-gilt Spoons are elegant tableware pieces. The Silver-gilt Nef is a decorative container, followed by the Pencase of King Henry VI, a historical artifact from the 6th century. Lastly, we have Oliver Cromwell's Watch and a Silver Parcel-gilt Nef, both significant objects from British history. This photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the rich and diverse world of design and decorative arts during the 19th century. The Loan Collection Exhibition at South Kensington was a testament to the creativity, craftsmanship, and cultural significance of these objects, which continue to captivate and inspire us today.
