The Huguenot Legacy

About this book

After the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, Huguenots streamed to England and were, perhaps, the most significant contributors to the style and technique of English silver between 1680 and 1760. The author examines this history, "the radical changes in the way in which people sat down to eat which took place during the early Georgian period, ... [and] the wealth of new forms of domestic silver."--Jacket.
