Members' price *

  • Silver has been used over the centuries for coinage, for jewellery and adornment, for high-status vessels and plate. It has been given as gifts on special occasions and associated with magic and the moon. Cultures as disparate as the Vikings and the Bedouins of North Africa told stories and myths about silver and the special status of silver-smiths. Phillipa Merriman, herself a professional silversmith, writes entertainingly about the fascinating history of silver around the world. This beautifully-designed book will be a must-buy item for anyone who has ever worn, used or admired silver.
