Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Salting Collection: With 16 Illustrations George Salting was born in 1836 in Australia, where his father had extensive sugar estates and sheep farms he was educated at Eton and at the University of Sydney, and, having inherited a considerable fortune, settled in early middle life in England. Whether by accident or from deliberate choice he early became associated with a circle of men - chief among whom was the late Mr. Louis Huth - who were both judges and buyers of fine things, and this fact undoubtedly played an important part, if not in forming, at least in confirming, the strong bent of his character towards the acquisition of works of art. To his life's end this pursuit remained his most absorbing interest, and his closest friendships were made among those who had sympathies and interests in a direction kindred with his own. As a collector, he followed his own methods, taking care, while seeking the best advice, to form his own judgment on every item. The process was usually deliberate, but the objects of his desire were followed with a quiet persistency which usually achieved its end. Gifted with great natural taste and air for fine things, his habits gave him the opportunity of studying the best examples of almost every category. Thus he added cultivation to taste; and since his means permitted him a practically unlimited scope, he became that rare phenomenon - a collector of the finest things with an appreciation for all. If there was one guiding principle which ruled his collecting, it was the preservation of a high standard. With this object he did not hesitate, whenever he judged it necessary, to eliminate objects which he considered of second-rate interest or importance and thus it happens that among the large number of objects which are comprised in his collections, comparatively few can be regarded as of doubtful authenticity or indifferent quality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the first comprehensive study of the collecting, consumption and display of Chinese porcelain in Britain from the 16th to the 20th century, as well as the impact of this activity on British culture. Beginning with the early porcelains acquired as objects of exotica and vessels for the consumption of tea and coffee, followed by porcelains for display in the country house interior, the first part of this book reveals the role of porcelain in Britain's developing economic relations with China and the impact of this material on both daily life and interior design. The subsequent diplomatic and political conflicts of the 18th and 19th centuries provide a framework for an examination of British consumption of Chinese porcelain as both spoils of war and iconic representations of China, material which helped to shape and influence British perceptions of China. The final section demonstrates how these perceptions of China and its porcelain began to change significantly in the 20th century with porcelains acquired as works of art and displayed publicly in museums. Collectors in Britain began to specialise in this area and actively invented a 'field' of Chinese ceramics that was promulgated by learned societies and culminated in the founding of a museum of Chinese ceramics in London by one of the foremost British collectors, Sir Percival David, who donated his world class collection to the University of London in 1950.
