Notes From Elsewhere
A dealer in antiquities, Charles Seidler, wrote letters to collectors including Sir John Evans, and Canon Greenwell, antiquarian societies ...
Mr. Charles Seidler contributed a paper on ancient enamelled crosiers, dating approximately from the end of the twelfth to the first half of the fourteenth centuries, made of copper, and ornamented by the Champleve enamel process commonly known as Limoges work. Up to the end of the thirteenth cen- tury the artist enamellers were monks, and the pro- duct of their labour was dedicated to the service of the Church. At the beginning of the fourteenth century the art quitted the cloisters and spread abroad. It is not recorded that any of these crosiers were discovered elsewhere than in France, Ger- many, Austria, Italy, Spain, England, or Ireland. Mr. Seidler exhibited in illustration of his paper an album containing photographs and drawings of 119 crosiers. [The Antiquary]

Society of Antiquaries: Scrapbook of Charles Seidler of Hammersmith, London, previously of Nantes, relating mostly to early metalwork, prehistoric and medieval but including other antiquities, notes, cuttings, and some correspondence. Contains detailed drawings, pen, pencil, many of items in French collections, a few etchings, etc., and photographs. There are several references to Seidler's own collection. Seidler was a member of the Sociétée Archéologique de Nantes and an associate member of the Royal Archaeological Institute (1893-1900). Several communications by him, some relating to items in the present volume, were published or mentioned in the Arch. Journal (see vols. 38, 40-2, 55, 1881-98). A different volume, containing many more drawings and photographs of croziers than the present one (cf. pp. 55-60), was exhibited by Seidler to the RAI, 7 Dec. 1898 (Arch. Journal, 55 (1898), 408).
