Title: Silver made in Scotland
Description: "Drawing from the Scotland National Museum's incomparable collections across the country and beyond, the development of the craft of the goldsmith throughout Scotland is charted. This book also explains why hallmarks helped prevent fraudulent craftsmen selling inferior metal, thus creating the oldest continuous form of consumer protection." "From antique Scottish silver considered the height of fashion at the time, to the stunning work of silversmiths working today, the vast range of talent and creativity that is inherent in Silver: Made in Scotland is demonstrated."--Jacket.
