Abstract Recently the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) restored and reconstructed a lost ceramic masterpiece for the new Europe 1600–1815 Galleries. It is a porcelain table fountain made at Meissen for an important royal wedding in 1747, which the Museum acquired in 1870. New research has revealed much about the commission, production and history of this previously mostly unknown centerpiece and it also informed the restoration of this spectacular object. For this project, we used a combination of cutting edge 3D-technology and traditional ceramic making techniques.

Abstract The Cabinet, the first of three activity areas in the Europe 1600–1815 Galleries, contains some of the most remarkable seventeenth-century European items from the V&A’s collections, revealing pan-European collecting practices from 1600 to 1720 and exploring that period’s fascination with the interplay between artifice and nature. A number of historical written and visual sources informed the selection of objects and established how they might be physically arranged. This article explains the sources and processes involved, and the precedence accorded to Samuel Quiccheberg’s Inscriptiones vel Tituli Theatri Amplissimi, published in Munich in 1565.
内阁是欧洲1600 - 1815画廊三个活动区中的第一个,包含了V&A收藏的一些最引人注目的17世纪欧洲物品,揭示了1600年至1720年的泛欧收藏实践,并探索了那个时期对人工与自然之间相互作用的迷恋。许多历史上的文字和视觉来源为对象的选择提供了信息,并确定了它们的物理排列方式。本文解释了所涉及的来源和过程,并优先考虑Samuel Quiccheberg的inscripes vel Tituli Theatri Amplissimi,于1565年在慕尼黑出版。

Abstract This article describes the process of developing an interactive film for the Europe Galleries that introduces visitors to key features of Venetian life around 1760. It explains the methods and decisions involved in bringing together historical research, creative dramatization, engaging presentation, community participation and various practicalities of production in order to create a participatory, fictional recasting of the past.

Abstract In the Europe 1600–1815 Galleries two baroque chairs, a rococo daybed and a neoclassical chair evoke the opulence of late seventeenth- and eighteenth-century seating, a fitting testimony to the increasing demand for comfort in elite households of the period. All four items were re-upholstered in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This article explains the lengthy research and conservation process behind the transformation of what were dull, overpainted and overgilded furniture frames, covered in dated fabrics, into extravagant statements of fine craftsmanship, gilded luxury and cushioned comfort – qualities of immense importance to the gallery narratives.
