Juego de tocador en su estuche original de piel

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

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 551

Este refinado conjunto aúna a su ilustre origen un diseño artístico logrado y una factura de calidad. Utilizados para los ritos diarios de arreglo personal de las aristócratas de alto rango, estos accesorios reflejaban la posición social de su dueña. Tradicionalmente, el marido entregaba un lujoso juego de tocador como este a su esposa, a modo de «regalo matutino» después de la noche nupcial. Realizado en Augsburgo, ciudad famosa por su producción de vajillas de plata de intrincada decoración, este conjunto perteneció a los condes Schenk von Stauffenberg en Suabia. Uno de sus descendientes más conocidos fue Claus von Stauffenberg, ejecutado en 1944 después de un frustrado intento de asesinar a Adolf Hitler.
