Masterpieces in miniature: treasures from the Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert Collection

By

Abstract

The Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert collection, now housed in the Victoria and Albert Museum (London), is one of the most significant collections of European decorative arts acquired privately in the twentieth century. Built up by an indefatigable couple over a forty-year period, it comprises nearly 1000 masterpieces - works created from precious metals, gold snuffboxes, enamel portraits and mosaics - chosen for their virtuosity, magnificence and rarity. "Masterpieces in miniature" presents highlights from the collection and accompanies its spectacular presentation at DIVA, the museum for diamonds, jewellery and silver in Antwerpen.
