Ancient and modern gold and silver smiths' work in the South Kensington museum
A catalogue of goldsmiths' and silversmiths' work from the South Kensington Museum, compiled by John Hungerford Pollen and printed in London in 1878 for collectors and students of decorative art. The pictures are fine line engravings of cups, tazzas, a hanging lamp and a chalice, with ornate cast stems, scrolled feet and chased bowls that show period metalwork patterns a designer could draw on for ornament.
