Description

"The Jeweled Menagerie: The World Of Animals In Gems" 2001The depiction of animals in art goes back to prehistoric cave paintings; and the early history of jewelry, from ancient Egyptian scarabs to Renaissance pendants, shows abundant examples of animal imagery. In the nineteenth century a new group of designers, seeking to satisfy the growing middle class's appetite for jewels, revived the Egyptian and Etruscan styles. Animals of all sorts were incorporated: birds, mammals, insects, reptiles, and fish.

The depiction of animals in art goes back to prehistoric cave paintings; and the early history of jewelry, from ancient Egyptian scarabs to Renaissance pendants, shows abundant examples of animal imagery. In the nineteenth century a new group of designers, seeking to satisfy the growing middle class's appetite for jewels, revived the Egyptian and Etruscan styles.

Animals of all sorts were incorporated: birds, mammals, insects, reptiles, and fish.

Prominent houses such as Fouquet, Fontenay, Falize, Faberge, and Tiffany all produced a spectacular array of animal jewels that are much prized today.

Design developments throughout the twentieth century Art Nouveau, Art Deco, and those that followed contributed impressive animal jewelry, from Lalique's intricate insects to Cartier's panthers, from Boucheron and Van Cleef & Arpels to the sophisticated imagery of Verdura.

This book examines in detail the denizens of this jeweled menagerie.

Great imagination and technical skill have gone into the fashioning of these precious objects, which exhibit not only meticulous craftsmanship but also grace, humor, and refinement.

solid dress shoes for the price
Size: 12, Color: Black
solid dress shoes, specially when factoring in price. Fit to my size and work well for rare business dress days at my work. They aren't most comfortable dress shoes ever, but as long as not doing long walks in them, should be fine!

Good shoes for the buck
Size: 13, Color: Dark Brown
Great shoes (I wear them to work and church) and the pictures don’t do them justice. They look really good in person. Very comfortable and hold up nicely

Decent Work Shoe, But Stitching Flaw
Size: 9.5, Color: Black, Size: 9.5, Color: Black
I like these men's derby shoes for my husband, but I'm not too surprised they are flawed considering they are Amazon brand. Not to say anything bad about Amazon Essentials by any means, since they have great, affordable products available. However, they are obviously not the super expensive men's derby shoes that are out there. I'm grateful to have a lower cost option, hence me getting them, but there were some minor issues. The stitching on the ankle rear of the shoe was a bit off. They are also a thinner faux leather, not as sturdy as a more expensive material would be. For the cost, though, they are exactly what I needed. These will not be returned and will be used for a work event. No complaints from the husband about fit or comfort. And the color and style were as expected.

The shoes are incredible for the price. They are not the most confortable, but they look very elegant and fit perfectly. It adjusts rightly. I got 2 pairs. My brother has his feet wider than mine, and the shoes fit perfectly.
