SUMMARY:Alexandria | Hidden Treasures: Tudor Jewels Unearthed
DESCRIPTION:In the middle of the English Civil War\, a London jeweler took advantage of one night’s darkness to secretly bury a wooden casket below his shop on Cheapside street. This box contained all his riches—hastily concealed during his escape from possible fighting. However\, the owner never returned\, and this treasure was forgotten for 300 years. In 1912\, on one of London’s busiest streets\, a work crew began to dig under the basement of a torn down building. Suddenly\, glittering rings\, brooches\, watches\, and rare enameled chains—featuring emeralds\, diamonds and pearls—were unearthed in a discovery that sounds more like fiction than reality. More than 500 pieces of rare Elizabethan and Stuart jewelry were revealed—rare surviving examples only previously known from portraiture. Carol Ann Lloyd will illustrate pieces from the Cheapside Hoard to show how 16th-and-17th-century royals and nobility used jewelry and adornment to establish and communicate power. Ms. Lloyd will explain how these objects were worn and also discuss how the gems demonstrate the impact of luxury items and global exploration in early modern England. Join us as we have a unique opportunity to look at this glittering “time-capsule” that has only been displayed twice: in 1914 and at the Museum of London in 2013. \n\nCarol Ann Lloyd is a popular speaker who shares the stories of Shakespeare and English history. She is the former Manager of Visitor Education at Folger Shakespeare Library. Her podcast\, British History: Royals\, Rebels\, and Romantics\, explores the lives of famous and infamous historical characters. Her latest book is Courting the Virgin Queen: Elizabeth I and Her Suitors. Carol Ann has presented programs at the Smithsonian\, Folger Shakespeare Library\, Agecroft Hall\, and TEDx\, among other venues. \n\nIN-PERSON ONLY: Lecture starts at 6:30 p.m. ET\, Preceded by reception at 5:30 p.m. \nLocation: Alexandria History Museum at the Lyceum\, 201 S Washington St\, Alexandria VA 22314 \nTickets: $35 members; $45 non-members \n \n\nOr call 212-480-2889 x200
