Original designs for modern goldsmith's work, chiefly in the style of the Renaissance is a 1909 by Reinhold of Aachen Vasters, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This drawing shows a fancy gold design for a piece of jewelry. It looks like a crown or a fancy frame with red, gold, and blue colors. There are lions on the sides, a sun in the middle, and some odd-shaped objects hanging off the bottom. The artist made this in 1909 as a sketch for a goldsmith. It copies the look of old Renaissance work but is actually new. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more like this.
The designs consist of pencil, pen, and ink renderings for modern goldsmith work primarily inspired by Renaissance styles, including cups, crucifixes, ecclesiastical ornaments, flagons, and dishes. Additional drawings reinterpret Renaissance goldsmith techniques, focusing on jewelled pendants, gold and enamelled mountings, and ornamentation.
