Paul Solanier German
Not on view
Paul Solanier was among the most gifted masters in the German imperial city of Augsburg, a leading producer of silver objects. As well as complicated display pieces, his workshop produced a great deal of utilitarian silver. The quality of the punched snakeskin ornament on this example shows how much attention was given to the even smallest detail so as to sustain Augsburg’s leading role in the art of goldsmithing.
