Aprašymas
This lavishly illustrated publication is the first exploration of the Company's history as a single narrative
The Goldsmiths' Company today supports gold and silversmiths, jewellers, charities and consumers through a contemporary approach rooted in a remarkable history. For more than seven centuries it has played a pivotal role in Britain's relationship with precious metal. Its work has found its way into the lives of ordinary people, guaranteeing the purity of coins and wedding rings and inspiring everyday turns of phrase such as 'hallmark' and 'acid test'. Yet despite this cultural and economic significance, its history has not always been well-understood.
The Goldsmiths' Company - 700 years of craft and community provides an authoritative account of one of our oldest and most influential institutions, which has, unusually, maintained its foundational duties into the present. Helen Clifford's approachable narrative tells this story for the first time in a single volume, beginning with a brotherhood of craftsmen in the political chaos of the 12th century and ending as their successors engage with the challenges of the 21st.
