The Gilbert Collection

The Gilbert Collection

The late Sir Arthur Gilbert's collection of European silver, gold, enamel, and other items is now housed at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and is known as the Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert Collection. The portion of the museum's website that's devoted to the collection is organized into sections on silver, gold boxes, mosaics, and portrait miniatures. Each item can be enlarged to reveal a stunning high-res photo plus a write-up, which includes the object's origin, date, maker, and materials.
