Case Studies: Coade Stone

Twenty-five case studies (see keywords below) of artificial stone locations with artefacts are each considered historically and reviewed on the basis of their potentially being genuine Coade stone or not: several are damaged artefacts and in other cases the original artefact is now missing. For several of these specimens have been obtained for analysis herein and these results are generally indicative of the genuineness of the article concerned. In some cases the situation is still uncertain because of the later restoration that has been effected which has compromised the conclusion and in other cases the result is in abeyance. Some case studies would certainly repay analytical sampling to determine the outcome.
