طقم للزّينة مع غلاف من الجلد الأصليّ

Fourteen identified German (Augsburg) goldsmiths and other German artisans; Japanese (Imari) porcelain maker

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 551

يمزج هذا الغلافُ المُتقنُ الصّنع أصولاً نبيلة مع تصوّر فنّيّ مكتَمَل فضلا عن درجة رفيعة من حذق الصّنعة. ومن البيّن أنّ هذه الأكسسواراتُ المُعدَّة للأنشطة الرّوتينية المقترنة بالنّهوض من النّوم صباح كلّ يوم أو بطقوس الزّينة بالنّسبة إلى شخص ينتمي إلى طبقة راقية، تعكس المنزلةَ الاجتماعيّة لصاحبتها. فمن المألوف بالنّسبة إلى الزّوج أن يُهدي تشكيلة فاخرة مثل هذه المجموعة من الأكسسوارات إلى زوجته باعتبارها «هديّة الصّباح» إثر ليلة الزّفاف. وقد تمّ صنعُها في «أوغسبورغ»، وهي مدينة مشهورة بإنتاج الطواقم الفضّيّة حسنة الصنع. وتعود هذه الأكسسوارات إلى الكونت والكونتيسة شانك فون ستافنبرغ من مدينة سوابيا، وكان لهما خَلَفٌ ذائع الصّيت أُعدم سنة 1944م بسبب محاولته اغتيال أدولف هتلر.
