Hamburg silvers, goldsmithing workshop, Polish museums, 17th and 1st half of the 18th centuryAbstract
The aim of this study is to present one of the most important defining features of modern Hamburg goldsmithing, namely the specialization of the workshops operating in 17th and first half of 18th century. With the widespread replication of the characteristic examples of Hamburg artwork, the features differentiating local products from those made in other goldsmithing centres became more and more recognizable. The article briefly describes several Hamburg silvers preserved in the country, both in private and museum collections. In view of the fact that most of the silvers from the great godsmithing centre of our interest can only be found in Hamburg itself or in Russia - Polish artefacts, though not comparable in quantity, can shed some light on the correct understanding of the artistic merit and character of one of the most important centres of goldsmithing in modern history.References
