Descripción

1 lingua: inglese Legat. edit. in tela con sovrac. illustrata, cm 28x22, pag. 190, con 19 illustraz. a colori e 142 in b / n - A cura di Keith Pinn - Il Paktong è una lega metallica di provenienza cinese con colore simile all'argento - Paktong, a rare Chinese alloy imported in small quantities during the 18th century, was used by European craftsmen to make domestic objects in imitation of silverware. The vital silver - coloured ingredient, nickel, was not identified in the West until the second half of the 18th century, and it was to be a further fifty years before scientists were able to perfect a viable imitation of paktong - This well - illustrated study and discussion of more than 100 paktong pieces from the W A Pinn collection will help readers identify and understand objects made from this scarce and highly prized Chinese metal. Objects covered include firegrates and firearms, domestic wares, and candlesticks - Perfetto stato.
