"Parcel Gilt: A Journey Through Time and Craftsmanship" Step into the world of exquisite artistry with these stunning parcel gilt. From ancient Tang dynasty stem cups to intricate 17th-century playing cards, each piece tells a unique story. In the 9th century, an unknown creator crafted a mesmerizing Tang dynasty stem cup. Its delicate parcel-gilt design showcases the mastery of gilding techniques during this era. Fast forward to Augsburg in 1712/13, where another mysterious artisan fashioned a beaker that exudes opulence. The combination of gold and vermeil creates a dazzling effect that captivates the eye. The Medingen Cup, created between 1609-29, is adorned with gold and vermeil. This masterpiece exemplifies the elegance and sophistication prevalent during this period. Hamburg's Altenstadt Cup from around 1649 showcases parcel-gilt craftsmanship at its finest. The meticulous attention to detail highlights the skillful hands behind its creation. The Plumenlage Cup from approximately 1640 boasts both gold and vermeil elements, creating an enchanting visual spectacle fit for royalty. Not limited to decorative items alone, even playing cards were not spared from parcel gilt embellishment. An extremely rare set engraved in four Italian suits by Augsburg artisans adds an element of luxury to any card game. Moving beyond ornamental pieces, an early Victorian pedestal sideboard made from parcel-gilt wood stands as a testament to timeless beauty combined with functionality. Transylvania presents us with a beaker dating back to circa 1650—its silver surface expertly enhanced through partial gilding—a true treasure for collectors worldwide. A soldier ajouree relief carved on parcel gilt wood offers insight into artistic expression during the first half of the 17th century—an exceptional example of skilled craftsmanship preserved through time. Delve further into history with a tea grinder inscribed with the Xiantong era's mark, corresponding to 872.
