Seven designs for silver. 1972-1978
Variously dated
Pencil, crayon and watercolour
Stuart Devlin, who is this year's Prime
Warden of the Goldsmiths' Company, was
born in Australia but trained at the Royal
College of Art, setting up a workshop in
England in 1965. In the 1970s the idea of the
textured surface was considerably developed:
these presentation drawings for table silver
show well Devlin's complex surface
treatments of chasing, hammering, texturing,
and filigree work. From the mid-1980s he has
pioneered the use of computer-aided design
in the field of silversmithing.
