Drawing together 70 examples of jewellery and metalwork created from the Fitzwilliam’s collection, this exhibition explores the exuberant period of design from the mid 19th century to the start of the Second World War. These works represent a number of styles, from the intricate historicism and neo-gothic of Catellani, Giuliano and William Burges to the naturalistic Arts and Crafts style of C.R. Ashbee and Phoebe Traquair. Find out more about ‘Designers and Jewellery’ from the Fitzwilliam’s website.
