The Cleveland Museum of Art's medieval table fountain, c. 1320–40, is the only version of its kind to have survived in its complete form from the Middle Ages. A superb example of French Gothic goldsmithing, it is an exquisite metalwork structure and a unique example of courtly taste and princely fashion, which was designed not for any religious purpose but purely as an indulgence. Its uncertain provenance has added to its charm. This focus volume reassesses this extraordinary piece in the context of other similar luxury objects, analysing specifically the fountain's history, functionality, materials, and style.

Hardback. Zustand: New. The Cleveland table fountain, dated c. 132040, is the only version of its kind to have survived in its complete form from the Middle Ages. A superb example of French Gothic goldsmithing, it is an exquisite structure and a unique example of courtly taste and princely fashion. In its full working glory, it was designed not for any religious purpose, but purely as an indulgence; the delicate bells would have created a gentle tinkling sound as the perfumed water trickled down into the basin beneath. Acquired by the Cleveland Museum of Art in 1924, the uncertain history of the fountain has added to its charm, and many questions remain worthy of re-examination. Stephen N. Fliegel assesses the fountain in the context of similar luxury objects, discussing its history, use, materials and style. Elina Gertsman elucidates the significance of fountains in the medieval imagination. Once one of many, the Cleveland table fountain is the last of its kind; a fantastic piece of craftsmanship designed to appeal to all the senses. AUTHOR: Stephen N. Fliegel is curator of medieval art at the Cleveland Museum of Art. Elina Gertsman is associate professor, Department of Art History and Art, Case Western Reserve University. SELLING POINTS: . Focuses on one of the most remarkable examples of gothic art to have survived, a unique functioning table decoration. . Will appeal to academics, students, and museum professionals interested in medieval decorative arts, especially goldsmith works and enamels, and automata.
