Summary:: "This volume examines the collecting of Spanish decorative arts between about 1850 and 1945, from both British and Spanish perspectives. Itfocusess on the period in which museums and private collectors in both countries valued and acquired different types of objects from Spain, such as ivory caskets, silk textiles, carpets, lustreware ceramics, furniture, jewellery and silverware. The essays reveal similarities and differences in approach in Britain and Spain, as well as the key figures involved and the differing national contexts in which their activities took place. Highlighted is the role played by specific museums, such as the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and by local, national and international exhibitions of the decorative arts, in disseminating knowledge about Spanish objects, historical and contemporary. The book concludes with brief biographies of the key figures and a bibliographical appendix on the collecting of Spanish art in Europe and North America and the collecting of Spanish decorative arts in Great Britain, Spain and wider Europe"-- Provided by publisher. and "Este volumen examina el coleccionismo de artes decorativas españolas entre 1850 y 1945, aproximadamente, desde la doble perspectiva británica y española. Se trata del periodo en el que distintos tipos de objetos de procedencia española, como arquetas de marfil, tejidos en seda, alfombras, cerámica de loza dorada, mobiliario, joyas y objetos de plata eran apreciados y comprados tanto por museos como coleccionistas de ambos países. Los art̕culos muestran desde ambas perspectivas los puntos en común, las diferencias, las figuras claves implicadas y los contextos tan diferentes en donde estas actividades tuvieron lugar. Destaca el papel que jugaron determinados museos como el Victoria and Albert Museum y el de las exposiciones de artes decorativas y aplicadas a nivel local, nacional e internacional en la difusión del conocimiento de los objetos españoles, históricos y contemporáneos. El libro se completa con breves biografías de las figuras claves y un apéndice bibliográfico sobre el coleccionismo de arte español con especial referencia a las colecciones europeas y norteamericanas y el coleccionismo de artes decorativas españolas en España, Gran Bretaña y Europa"-- Provided by publisher
