A thrilling history of mudlarkers, charlatans, experts and chancers - the underbelly of the Edwardian antiques trade.
June 1912. A pair of workmen deposit a heavy ball of clay in the antiques shop of George Fabian Lawrence, or 'Stony Jack' as he's better known. As Lawrence picks through the mud, a speck of gold catches his eye. A pearl earring tumbles into his hand, then another. A Burmese ruby follows; then Colombian emeralds, lapis lazuli from Afghanistan and turquoise from Iran; tankards; watches; topaz; amazonite.
Stony Jack has discovered the greatest single cache of Elizabethan treasure.
Diving into London's bustling, sometimes lawless, antiques trade at the turn of the century, Victoria Shepherd provides a compelling portrait of the city at the height of empire. A thrilling ride through Edwardian London, from the marble halls of the British Museum to the East End's maze of tenements and alleyways, Stony Jack and the Lost Jewels of Cheapside oversees the transformation of the city into a modern metropolis.
