MADAM – The Antique Metalware Society, whose members specialise in objects made from base metals, has launched a new website which it hopes will be a source of information on, and stimulate interest in, antique items made from brass, copper, bronze, paktong, zinc, iron, steel and various types of metal plating.
The site includes an illustrated gallery of diverse objects with full descriptions, details of key reference works and articles, contents lists of past society journal issues, an area for discussion of unidentified items, details of forthcoming meetings and links to other websites of interest.
A members-only area allows interaction between members worldwide.
