David Esterley, GRINLING GIBBONS and the Art of Carving Ref: CHT0116

After setting Gibbons in his historical context David Esterley shows the process by which the carvings were created. The author played a key role in the restoration of carvings at Hampton Court after the fire of 1986 and has had first-hand experience at carving limewood foliage and figures. Photographs show how Gibbons assembled the elaborate overmantels at Hampton Court. Pieces are shown for the first time in a disassembled state so as to reveal how they were constructed. Gibbons' tools, workshop practice, materials and finishing are dealt with in detail. This is the first book on Gibbons to have colour illustrations.
