Argenti da Tavola e Posate

Összefoglaló

Collected during the last two centuries, the silver of the Counts of Coronini Cronberg di Gorizia, now constitutes one of the most prestigious collections of this Foundation. Included in the collection are nineteenth century silver, produced in Moscow and Saint Petersburg for Count Eduard Cassini, chamberlain of Tsar Nicholas II; the trophies of the London silversmiths Hancock and Garrad, and various pieces of Old Sheffield plate; the French salt-cellers from the Imperial period – one of which holds the hallmark of Napoleon’s silversmith; a range of Scandinavian pieces and some Swiss and Italian examples from the Imperial period further enrich the collection, giving testimony to the occasional gifts, or careful purchases, that were made by the last Count of Coronini, Guglielmo.
