Antikviteter og samleobjekter: guld, sølv og andre metaller (andet end smykker)

Mountain Walk Versus Forrest Fenn was written to support a unique idea and to defend the legacy of a generous and noble friend. Forest Fenn devised a treasure hunt in which he hid a fortune in gold and jewelry in the Rocky Mountains. He peppered clues throughout his book, The Thrill of the Chase: A Memoir, as to its location and declared the finder could keep the treasure. The purpose was to get people outside, and to share the things and experiences that made his own life interesting and fulfilling.The treasure was discovered in June 2020, shortly before Forest Fenn and his wife of sixty years passed. A decision by Fenn and the finder to not disclose the site left many of the thousands who searched for his treasure dissatisfied-some caustically so. For them, the game was a hoax, a scam, and unfair. Legal suits were brought against the Fenn estate, the finder, and other tangentially involved individuals. Books and articles were written with no purpose other than destroying Fenn's legacy."Mountain Walk," a blog to help interpret the clues and keep treasure hunters out of trouble argued the only way to stop the nonsense was to find the hiding site using nothing but the clues given in Fenn's memoir, The Thrill of the Chase. The author takes the reader through that mental exercise with the caveat that at this point, only the finder really knows the site's location.

Der Angelhaken leitet seine Form von seiner praktischen Absicht ab - einen Fisch zu fangen. Aber in Kulturen, in denen das Fischen eine Haupterwerbsquelle ist und schon immer war, wird die Herstellung von Angelhaken zu einer Kunst. "Angelhaken der pazifischen Inseln Vol. II" schließt den umfangreichen und tiefgehenden Diskurs des ersten Bandes ab. Zusammen sind sie das erste umfassende Nachschlagewerk über pazifische Angelhaken seit der Veröffentlichung von Harry Beasleys "Pacific Island Record: Fishhooks" von 1928, der in einer Auflage von nur 250 Exemplaren gedruckt wurde.Seitdem ist viel gelernt und entdeckt worden, und "Fish Hooks of the Pacific Islands" versammelt alles unter einem Titel mit umfassenden neuen Beobachtungen, Recherchen, Zuschreibungen, Identifizierungen und Farbfotografien. Diese Publikation ist das Ergebnis einer Zusammenarbeit privater Sammler, die sich gemeinsam der Kunst und dem Wissen der alten pazifischen Kulturen verschrieben haben. Bei der Erstellung dieses Buches haben sie eine unglaubliche Menge an Informationen sowie Bilder und Details der besten bekannten Exemplare aus Sammlungen auf der ganzen Welt zusammengetragen.

""Silver Treasures from the Land of Sheba documents a disappearing artistic and cultural tradition with over three hundred photographs showing individual pieces, rare images of women wearing their jewelry with traditional dress, and the various regions in Yemen where the author did her field research. Ransom's descriptions of the people she met and befriended, and her exploration of the significance of a woman's handmade jewelry with its attributes of power, protection, beauty, and personal identity, will appeal to ethnic jewelry fans, ethnographers, jewelry designers, and art historians. Amulet cases, hair ornaments, bridal headdresses, earrings, necklaces, ankle and wrist bracelets are all beautifully photographed in intricate detail, interspersed with the author's own photographs of the women who shared their stories and their hospitality with her. A chapter on the history of silversmithing in Yemen tells the surprising story of the famed Jewish Yemeni silversmiths, many of whom left Yemen in the late 1940s. This is the first in-depth study of Yemeni silver, uniquely illustrated with photographs of a world that is transforming before our eyes, and animated with the portraits of a precious legacy.""--

""In the Egypt of the 1970s, a young Azza Fahmy set out into the all-male world of Historic Cairo's jewelry district to apprentice as a silversmith. This was the start of a remarkable success story that would make her name an international luxury brand. With warmth and candor, she recalls a happy childhood in Upper Egypt, spent in the bygone world of postwar Egypt. This idyllic start to life ended abruptly with the death of her father, when Azza Fahmy was only thirteen, and the family was forced to move to Cairo, to begin a new life under much reduced circumstances. It was a chance find at a book fair that changed the course of events for her-sparking a passion for silversmithing, and inspiring her to seek out the master craftsmen of Khan al-Khalili, the great craft district of Historic Cairo, and the nearby Sagha, or goldsmiths' and silversmiths' district. Through her intimate knowledge of these jewelry workshops, Azza Fahmy takes us through the quarter's exquisite architecture and bustling alleyways, peopled with silversmiths, goldsmiths, brass workers, and artisans of every stripe, and lays out the indelible influence this now disappearing world has left on her acclaimed jewelry designs. While Azza Fahmy's story is one of great accomplishment, woven through it are her struggles as a single mother, a middle-class Egyptian, and a woman working in a man's profession. This memoir, a tribute to the people and places that shaped her creative imagination, is also an ode to the conviction that with hope and perseverance, anything is possible.""--

Why do so many people try to diminish the gold story? And why does gold keep bouncing back in defiance of its critics? That is the theme of this book. Robin Bromby shows that gold's fundamental appeal - as a safe haven, the ultimate store of wealth, the most reliable form of money - sees it through every obstacle put in its way. In the past 100 years, the world has turned its back on the gold standard (and in the case of the U.S. actually banned its private ownership) and developed a multitude of new financial tools through the use of derivatives and massive leveraging, and yet gold is still at the beating heart of the global financial system. This book by a leading Australian-based mining commentator explains gold's survival.

Tracing the history and meaning of the 17th-century auricular styleThe 17th-century auricular or lobate style--Kwabstijl, in Dutch--is one of the most important and remarkable Dutch contributions to the decorative arts in Europe.Soft, smooth, undulating masses that resemble the curvature of the cartilage of the human ear give this curious style its name. Its forms, rendered in delicately hammered silver and gold, are strikingly modern, suspended between human anatomy and the materiality of slugs or mollusks. The "Kwab" of this fascinating book's title refers to the quivering, blubbery mass of animal tissue and aquatic plants.Kwab: Ornament as Art in the Age of Rembrandt traces the history and meaning of the auricular style, with its fabulous, organic shapes, from the work of the goldsmith Paulus van Vianen at the court of Rudolf II in Prague to that of his brother Adam in Utrecht and Johannes Lutma in Amsterdam. Their masterpieces were admired as high art by Rembrandt and his pupils, who produced auricular designs themselves. The style migrated from silver and goldsmithing to architectural ornament, interior decoration and the decorative arts.Designed by Irma Boom and written by Reinier Baarsen, Senior Curator of European Furniture at the Rijksmuseum, Kwab tells the fascinating story of this unique abstract decorative form through silver and gold masterworks, design drawings and prints, paintings by Rembrandt, furnishings and Cuir de Cordoue gold leather wall coverings.
