Description

"The Jeweled Menagerie: The World Of Animals In Gems" 2001The depiction of animals in art goes back to prehistoric cave paintings; and the early history of jewelry, from ancient Egyptian scarabs to Renaissance pendants, shows abundant examples of animal imagery. In the nineteenth century a new group of designers, seeking to satisfy the growing middle class's appetite for jewels, revived the Egyptian and Etruscan styles. Animals of all sorts were incorporated: birds, mammals, insects, reptiles, and fish.

The depiction of animals in art goes back to prehistoric cave paintings; and the early history of jewelry, from ancient Egyptian scarabs to Renaissance pendants, shows abundant examples of animal imagery. In the nineteenth century a new group of designers, seeking to satisfy the growing middle class's appetite for jewels, revived the Egyptian and Etruscan styles.

Animals of all sorts were incorporated: birds, mammals, insects, reptiles, and fish.

Prominent houses such as Fouquet, Fontenay, Falize, Faberge, and Tiffany all produced a spectacular array of animal jewels that are much prized today.

Design developments throughout the twentieth century Art Nouveau, Art Deco, and those that followed contributed impressive animal jewelry, from Lalique's intricate insects to Cartier's panthers, from Boucheron and Van Cleef & Arpels to the sophisticated imagery of Verdura.

This book examines in detail the denizens of this jeweled menagerie.

Great imagination and technical skill have gone into the fashioning of these precious objects, which exhibit not only meticulous craftsmanship but also grace, humor, and refinement.

Keeps my sink area neat and organized
Color: Black, Size: Medium
Really happy with this sink caddy! The 304 stainless steel feels sturdy and looks nice, and the auto drain spout keeps water from pooling on the counter. The divided sections easily hold my sponge, brush, and soap bottle without taking up much space. I also like the removable towel bar and that there was no installation needed. Redy to use right out of the box. Simple, practical, and very useful for keeping the sink area tidy.

it is good quality
Color: Black, Size: Medium
this is very sleek and handy. I like how it looks and sits on the counter. One thought the part the holds the dish cloth falls off when I take the dish cloth off. It is a minor issue, however, if there was a way to clip it more secure to the item, this would be ideal. thank yoo

Most importantly, its drainage system directs water into the tank, keeping it dry.
Color: Black, Size: Medium
This drain rack is small and fits perfectly on the edge of my sink. It's just the right size to hold hand soap and dishcloths, doesn't take up much space, and most importantly, it directs water directly into the sink, keeping it dry and keeping my sink clean and tidy.

Good product
Color: Black, Size: Medium
It is as described, looks neat and tidy on the sink. Just big enough to do what I need it to do. My sink stays dry because the wate goes back int the sink.
