The work of the goldsmith has in all ages been held in high estima- tion ; the writings of ancient authors tell us to what perfection it was carried in their day, and the numerous specimens of this beautiful art which have been discovered among ruins and in ancient monuments furnish abundant proof of the truth of their statements. At a very early period of the Christian Church the ecclesiastical utensils, whether of copper, bronze, gold, or silver, were often enriched by the goldsmith with enamels and precious stones. Of this description of art-work of the 11th and 12th centuries, examples still exist in national museumsj^church treasuries, and private collections, although those of the earlier date are very rare. These objects are of a bold and severe style ; the Chalices are wide-spreading in form, supported on circular feet, the diameter of which sometimes exceeds that of the cup ; the Crosses^ in ivory, gold, gilt metal, and bronze enamelled, are enriched with ornaments in high relief, and frequently terminate in a large leaf ; the Chasses are in the form of a sarcophagus ; the Censers of spheroidal form are surmounted with edifices and figures ; the sacred vases are mostly ornamented with precious stones alternating with cloisonne enamels. The ecclesiastical ornaments produced for the sovereigns, bishops, and rich monasteries of France and Germany during the 13th century sur- passed in magnificence any works of the kind previously achieved. The treasury of the cathedral of Aix-la-Chapelle contains some specimens of this brilliant period, the finest of which is the Chasse of Notre Dame, which was commenced by order of Frederick II. previous to A.D. 1220, and not completed until about A.D. 1237. The long period employed on its manufacture, and the edict of Frederick II., which enjoined that all the offerings of the pilgrims should be expended on the church until such time as the work should be completed, may account for its being one of the finest specimens of the ecclesiastical art of the goldsmith. Among other specimens of the German work of this period, should be named the fine Chasse of the Kings in the cathedral of Cologne and the Monstrance in the convent of Notre Dame at Namur. a2 4 Preface. Nor was France at this period behindhand with Germany in gold- smiths’ work, as the chasse of St. Taurin d’Evreux still evidences. This remarkable work, which is in the form of a miniature church, made of gold and silver, was executed in 1225. There is also a very fine Chasse of the same period at Rouen. The specimens of the work of the 14th century which are still preserved, show a change in the form of the Chalice, the cup of which is semi-ovoid and the stem much taller. Tlie Chasscs are mostly of architectural form for the cathedrals, and form statuettes and busts in gold or silver, holding the reliquary, when intended for the chapels and oratories, and this fashion enabled the goldsmith to display his talent in sculpture. Grotesque statuettes were also used as reliquaries. Many specimens of this period are preserved in the ^Museum of tlie Louvre at Paris, and in other public and private collections in France, Germany, and England. The Gothic style of ornamenting sacred vessels, which was practised in the 13th and 14th centuries, continued in vogue during the whole of the loth and the early part of the 16th centuries. It was not until the end of the first quarter of the 16th century that the Italian style of decorating goldsmiths’ work was adopted either in France or Germany. Italy had been long famous for its goldsmiths’ work, and when it is I'cmcmbered that Donatello, Filippo Brunelleschi, who constructed the cupola of the cathedral of Florence, and Ghiberti, the author of the gates of the Ba])tistcry, had all goldsmiths for their first masters, and worked at the craft with their own hands, it is easy to imagine what beautiful works must have been produced in that country. But these noble works have nearly all perished; their artistic merit could not save them fi’om the cupidity, want, fear of pillage, and the love of change of subsequent times. Benvenuto Cellini informs us, in his memoirs, that A\ hile Pope Clement VII. was besieged in the castle of Saint-Angelo he i-eceived orders to take out all the precious stones from the tiaras, the sacred vases, and the jewelry belonging to the sovereign pontiff, and to fus<; all the gold contained in them, which produced 200 lbs. weight of the precious metal. ITow many artistic treasures must then have pei ishc(l in the crucible of Cellini ! The two most important examples of the Italian ecclesiastical goldsmiths’ work still existing are the altar of St. dames of Pistoia and the altar of the Baptistery of St. John at Flo- rence. ( )u these two monuments the most celebrated goldsmiths of Italy worked more than 150 years, and on them may be traced the history of the art tluring the 14th and 15th centuries. In the 16th century the popular taste for mythological subjects and the poetry of the ancient Greeks liad a great influence on the art of the goldsmitli. The style which grew up under this influence was well Preface. 5 adapted to jewelry and decorative plate, which then attained a rare elegance ; but it worked to the detriment of the ecclesiastical art, which lost that stamp of gravity for which it was so celebrated in the middle ages. The specimens of ancient English and Irish ecclesiastical metal work still preserved are not numerous, but they are sufficient to prove that the goldsmiths of our own country had, at an early date, attained to a very high standard of excellence. The photographs enumerated in this portion of the catalogue have been taken from objects in the Museum of the Louvre at Paris and in the' South Kensington Museum, and from specimens lent by the uni- versities, corporate bodies, and private collectors for exhibition at the “ Special Loan Exhibition” at the South Kensington Museum in 1862. Among the more important works may be specially mentioned the Shrine of the Gospels of St. Molasch, belonging to the Royal Irish Academy (No. 1) ; two vieAvs of the Shrine of St. Manchen or St. Monaghan, exhibited by the Right Rev. Bishop Kilduff (Nos. 8 and 9) ; Reliquary in form of a sandalled foot, the property of Mr. Hollingworth Magniac (No. 17) ; the Monstrance belonging to H.R.H. the Due d’Aumale (No. 32); the Chasse or Reliquary from the Soltykoff collection (No. 78); and the famous “Gloucester” Candlestick from the Soltykoff collection, now in the South Kensington Museum (No. 92). DECORATIVE PLATE. . The history of the goldsmith’s art as applied to the decoration of plate generally is in most respects the same as that of the ornamentation of eccle- siastical vessels ; the processes of gilding, parcel-gilding, and ornamenting with niellos, repousse work, and enamelling, were alike used. Up to the beginning of the 14th century the goldsmiths were, with few exceptions, monks ; but early in that century the art emerged from the cloister and took a wider range ; it was no longer employed exclusively in the ser- vice of the church. Rich and noble individuals became its patrons, and in Italy it followed step by step the progress of sculpture, with which it was identified, until the close of the 15th century. The forms became pure and correct, and the style was improved by the study of ancient examples. The 16th century is marked by a decided taste for classical and mythological subjects, of which the goldsmith’s art largely partook. The photographs in this portion of the catalogue are mostly taken from objects of that period, some of the most important of which are the G Preface. Ewer and Plateau, in silver-gilt, (Savoyard work,) date about 1500 (Nos. 123 and 124), lent for exhibition by the Marquis d’Azeglio ; the Koscwatcr Ewer and Salver, in silver-gilt, 16th century work (Nos. 193 and 194), in the possession of Captain Leyland ; the plate lent for exhi- bition by the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge ; several beautiful objects in the collections of Baron Lionel de Eothschildand Mr. Moffatt ; and numerous specimens belonging to the South Kensington Museum.

The art of casting in bronze is of great antiquity ; it is stated to have been practised by the eastern nations long prior to its introduction into Europe. The Chinese historians say that Yu, who was associated on the throne with Chun, 2,200 years before the Christian era, caused nine brass vases to be cast, upon each of which he had engraved the map and description of the nine provinces of the empire. That the art was much practised by the ancient Greeks and Romans, and that they attained to the greatest perfection in it, is well proved by the celebrated monuments of their work which remain. The finest collection of ancient bronzes is at Naples ; among the specimens there, are some showing the very curious manner in which the ringlets of hair, worked separately, were fastened on ; many of them are the size of life. Bronze casting in Greece seems to have reached its perfection about the time of Alexander the Great (330 b.c.). The accounts given of the works executed about that time almost exceed belief. After Lysippus, the favourite sculptor of Alexander, — who executed, according to Pliny, above 600 works, — the art began to decline in that country. The taste of the ancients was still preserved in Italy in the fourth and fifth centuries, and many im- portant works in bronze casting are recorded as having been achieved by them at that early period. In France, Germany, and England objects cast in bronze have also been discovered in the tombs of the fifth, sixth, and seventh centuries. During the three following centuries this art seems to have declined and been little practised in the western countries, for we read of no great works being produced by it until the beginning of the 11th century, when it was revived in Germany under St. Ber- nard, Bishop of Hildersheim, who had the gates of his church cast in bronze, and who erected in the year 1022 on the S2^ace in front of it a bronze column about 15 feet high, ornamented with bas-reliefs as- cending spirally from the base, dejiicting the life of Christ, in twenty- eight groups. In France the revival of this art was of a still later period, the earliest evidence of it being the gates of the church of St. Denis, which were cast in bronze under the direction of the Abbot Suger in 1140, and were enriched with bas-reliefs illustrating Christ’s Passion and Resurrection. Metal Worlz. Italy furnishes no important evidences of the revival of bronze casting prior to the end of the 12th century, when Bonano produced the bronze gates of the cathedral of Pisa, and soon after those of St. Martin of Lucca ; the large gates of the cathedral of Monreale were also executed by him and bear his name inscribed on them. ^lany of the objects used in religious services in Germany, France, and Italy were made in bronze during the 12th century, such as candle- sticks, candelabra, baptismal fonts, and some of the vessels for the altar. Important specimens of the work of this period are still to be seen in the ditferent churches. The iSIediosval and Eenaissance periods also produced for 'the same purposes numerous specimens of bronze casting ; but as these pieces were always more or less enriched with precious materials, they belong more especially to the goldsmith’s art. Italy possessed in the 16th century a great number of celebrated artists, who designed and executed with incredible rapidity statues, groups, inonu- ments, and fountains in marble and in bronze. There were many also who reproduced in bronze, miniature bas-reliefs and statuettes, either from the antique or from the works of eontemporary masters. Florence was most renowned for these works. The puiiils of John of Bologna reproduced, in bronze, statuettes of the numerous works of their master. Many of these beautiful statuettes and fine bas-reliefs are found in the collections of the present day, and are much sought for by amateurs. These artists did not disdain to employ their talents on the improvement and decora- tion of objects of ordinary domestic use ; in the museums and private colled ions of the present day there are many beautiful specimens of their work, such as candlesticks, fire-dogs, knockers and handles for doors, inkstands, &c., which are justly valued as objects of art. The photograi)hs named in the catalogue are mostly from works of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, selected from the collection in the Siivate collectors. Bronzes, 33 BRONZES. 275.

DECORATIVE IRON WORK. 'Fiie smith’s art, 'which iu the 12th and 13th centuries had been de\ oted almost exclusively either to the fashioning of arms and armonr or to the decoration of architecture 'with hinges, locks, bolts, nails, &c., was in the loth and 16th centuries extensively applied to the manufac- ture of screens in churches, crosses, reliquaries, doors of tabernacles, desks, caskets, fire-dogs, and to the formation and decoration of furniture of almost every description. The smiths of Italy, France, Germany, and ICngland seem to have rivalled each other in the beauty of design, and the skill in the finish of the works then produced. Cnlortunately, the writers of biographies have never considered these art -workers in iron worthy of notice, and although we have here and there a name handed down to us, by its being engraved or impressed on their works, we have no record to tell us by what means they attained to such excellence, and what were their other achievements. 'I'lie case of Quentin Matsys is an exception, he gained this distinction by being also a painter; but the authenticity of the very meagre account w liich is given of his life is questionable. One of the gi’eatest attractions in the Special Loan Exhibition held at the South Kensington Museum in 1862, was the ‘‘ Chair of State, in “ wrought and chiselled iron, presented by the city of Augsburg to the “ Emperor Rudolph II.,” the property of Viscount Folkestone, of which there is a i)liotograph (No. 490). The chair bears the maker’s name ami the date engraved on it, “Thomas Ruker,” “Fecit anno 1574.” A full desei'iption of its form and decoration is given in the catalogue of the Sj)ccial Loan Exhibition (No. 7,840). I'V»r otlier beautiful specimens of wrought iron we refer our readers to tl.c screens from Hampton Court, now in the North Court of the South Kcn-inglon Museum, the work of Huntington Shaw, of Nottingham ( I )atc, 1 695), and to tlie collection of “ grilles,” balconies, fire-dogs, hinges and knockers, Avhich arc exhibited in the Cloisters under the Schools of Art.

The term “ enamelling,” in its widest signification, is applied to the art of ornamenting any substance with a vitreous material, which is made to adhere to its surface by heat; so that not only metal, but also stone, cart lien ware, and even glass itself, may be said to be enamelled. It i.<, however, more usual to restrict the term of “ an enamel ” ta metal work ornamented in this manner ; the one requisite being that the vitreous material shall have been fixed in its place by fusion. 'riicrc are several ways of using the enamel. It may be sunk into cavities, as in the encrusted processes ; it may be floated over an engraved bas-relief, the details of which are revealed through its trans- piircnt body, a mode of decoration peculiarly suitable to silver, and which has been termed iranslucid on relief, or by the French, emaux de hnsse taille; or it may entirely conceal the metal surface, as in painted enamels. Moreover, in encrusted enamels, the cavities to receive the enamel may be either hollowed out in the metal, consti- tuting what is termed m champleve, ov a taille d’epargne ; or they may be cells composed of a kind of filigree of naiTow bands of metal, which keep the colours separate, and with their edges form the outlines of the designs. This latter process is known as cloiso7ine enamel, and peculiarly suitable to gold, though occasionally applied to eoppei'. The Greeks iimpicstionably employed enamel to enrich their beautiful jewelry, though to a very limited extent, and the same process seems to have been carried on in Nubia about the Christian era. It is not till the reign of Severus that we find any direct mention of enamelling in any classical author. An oft-quoted passage in Philo- - tratu: informs us that the barbarians who live cither in or near the oc-' an, had a way of ornamenting horse-trappings by means of vitrified colours. Such horse-trappings have been found in Britain, and the same colours ami peculiar patterns may be discerned in Irish works of a later d. 591. CrP, or d'AZZA, Limoges enamel, by Leonard Limosin.

From tlie earliest periods ivory has been a favourite vehicle for sculpture, and a very complete and connected view of the history of art is to be found in monuments of that material. Ancient Egyptian works in ivory are by no means uncommon. Of the Assyrian period, many ivory carvings have been recently discovered. In ancient Greek art it was a highly valued substance for the embodiment of the sublime conceptions of the most famous sculptors. The ivory portions of the chryselephantine statues of Phidias were colossal works made up of a number of small pieces carefully joined. The ancients are said to have been able to soften and unroll the ivory tusk into wider plates. During the Roman period it was in universal use. Many remains still exist of the classical epochs, chiefly in fragments of caskets, small statuettes, tesserae or carved counters, combs, handles of weapons and utensils, and the dipft/chs-; these latter consist of two carved tablets or plaques of ivory, hinged together so as to close like a book; they appear to have been of most frequent occurrence in the later Roman period. In their origin they were writing tablets covered on their inner surfaces witli wax, on which the writing was traced with a stylus or hard point. Tliesc tablets, bound round with a thread and sealed, were sent as letters. Tliey were, however, afterwards employed in a manner which had special reference to art. In the time of the Emperors, diptychs of large proportions (now termed “ consular diptychs”) were sent by consuls and other magistrates, on their elevation to office, as presents to public cor])orations and to tlieir private friends. These di^^tychs (.-re No. 21H9) are generally elaborately carved with a portrait of the consul ill liis robes of olfice, and with various representations and allogoi’ical ackground, marqueterie border.
