EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print showcases a stunning Cup and cover from late 16th century Nuremberg. Crafted with meticulous detail, this parcel-gilt silver masterpiece stands at an impressive height of 45 cm. The cup features spirally lobed designs, adorned with engraved foliage strapwork along the rim and applied foliage bosses on the body. The foot of the cup is intricately designed with a septafoil shape, while the stem portrays St. John the Baptist holding a Paschal lamb upon a book in his left arm. Above him, cast foliage adds to the ornate beauty of this piece. The lobed cover is equally captivating, featuring an openwork foliage border with panels of strapwork and masks. Atop it sits a finial depicting St. George slaying the Dragon – a symbol of triumph over evil. Markings can be found on various parts of this remarkable creation, including its foot, rim, and cover bezel. This print captures every intricate detail and decorative element that makes this Cup and cover truly exceptional. Its baroque style combined with figural representations creates an awe-inspiring sculptural piece that exemplifies masterful metalwork from centuries past. Displayed in private collection today, this photograph allows us to appreciate not only its historical significance but also its timeless beauty as an object d'art.
