The preserved part of fibula makes possible reconstruction of its appearance and attribution to the group of massive bronze crossbow fibulae, which were produced in the second half of the 4th century and characterized by decoration consisting of gilding, niello, Christogram motif and/or the busts of young men in medallions.

Guests would each bring their own utensils. Ancient Greeks used the fork but then the use fell out of custom. Byzantine Empire use developed during the first millennium but common use not until XVIIIth C in western world, North America XIXth….early use mainly as cooking utensil (Rome) Fun fact : Lorenzo de Medici’s estate included 18 forks… all for his private use. People would bring their own silverware if they had any to a banquet Use of fork in 1600’s regarded as unmanly Italian affectation and frowned upon by Roman Catholic Church – “ god in his wisdom has provided man with natural forks …his hands..” but mentioned in Bible… Before use of cutlery it was common to wipe own’s hands on any available material – hence no upholstery on chairs until development of silverware… This set of cutlery would have belonged to a high ranking individual such as nobleman, ambassador or Ruler.

  • Silver Jewellery
    © Republic of Turkey – Ministry of Economy, 2012 0 SILVER JEWELLERY The first major silver mines and examples of jewellery were recorded around 4000 BC, located in Anatolia. They were mostly the main source of silver for many of the growing cultures in that area of the world and others that would trade for silver. Silver has been used for thousands of years as ornaments and utensils, for trade, and as the basis for many monetary systems. However, the basic most notable use of silver is its beauty and appeal as an item of jewellery. Silver has always been known to enhance the beauty of precious stones hen set into a ring or a necklace. Since the discovery of silver, Anatolia has been a major center for silver jewellery production. Think about a land which has developed its own techniques and figures in the art of jewellery production for thousands of years. All of the civilizations which have inhabited Anatolia have produced numerous objects for both religious and artistic purposes. People worked with metals, sometimes including precious and semiprecious stones. The Hittites, Urartians, Phrygians, Ionians, Lydians, Romans, Byzantines, Seljuks and Ottomans all established their rule in Anatolia and created their own jewellery styles. The most significant style among the different types of jewellery was brought to Anatolia by the Seljuks. Their great influence on the Turkish jewellery tradition is demonstrated by Turkoman jewellery which originated in Central Asia, and is still produced and worn by Turkoman tribes. Colored gemstones and pieces of glass with symbolic meanings, as well as silver and gold, are used in this jewellery which is still produced and worn in Turkey.

  • Niello for the Modern Jeweler
    Niello for the Modern Jeweler Christopher M. Manning Owner Silver Hand Studios Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Introduction Niello was an important alloy used by metalsmiths from ancient times until the end of the Renaissance. The low-temperature metal sulfide was commonly used as a high-contrast, fusion inlay alloy. The color permeates the alloy and ranges from dark grey to deep black. It is an excellent choice when making high-wear items where patinas and other surface treatments will wear. It was regularly fused into bronze, iron, silver and gold. My first introduction to niello came from Cellini’s Treatise on Goldsmithing and Sculpture.1 Since first experimenting with niello six years ago, it has become an important material in my art. Niello was an important alloy in Renaissance Italy and commanded the first chapter in Cellini’s Treatise. While the Renaissance was the pinnacle of niello production, its use in decorative metalwork spans from the ancient Egyptians and Romans up to modern-day Russian and Thai jewelers. The Fuller Brooch, located in the British Museum, is one of the finest surviving examples of niello work (Figure 1).

  • Niello-20-C-Manning.Pdf
    Manning / Niello 2.0 / 1 Abstract Over the past 3500 years, niello has been utilized by almost every culture with a tradition of decorative metal work. However, it has been abandoned by modern western jewellers. Traditionally niello is manufactured using lead, making it unsafe, and unsuitable for use in modern jewellery. This paper will explore the historical manufacturing and use of niello to provide context, as well as present how to manufacture a lead-free version for safe use by modern jewellers. Niello 2.0 Christopher M. Manning Silver Hand Studios, Ottawa, Canada Niello was an important alloy used by metal-smiths from ancient times until the end of the Renaissance. The low-temperature metal sulphide was commonly used as a high-contrast, fusion inlay alloy. The colour permeates the alloy and ranges from dark grey to deep black. It is an excellent choice when making high-wear items where patinas and other surface treatments will wear. It was regularly fused into bronze, iron, silver and gold. My first introduction to niello came from Cellini’s Treatise on Goldsmithing and Sculpture1. Since first experimenting with niello seven years ago, it has become an important material in my art.
