Summary
"This illustrated book presents objects from the exceptional collection of English silver in the Moscow Kremlin Museums, where one of the world's greatest surviving groups of English sixteenth- and seventeenth- century silver is housed. Much of the silver from this period was melted down during the English Civil War, making the pieces at the Kremlin exceedingly rare and historically important."--BOOK JACKET.
