Charger 1632

"Charger" (1632) by Balthasar Dauman is a pewter dish with an intricate design of engraved foliate motifs, creating a delicate and intricate pattern. The dish features a central circular panel with radiating lines of leaves and flowers, while a band of similar foliage adorns the rim, interspersed with six raised bosses. Dauman, who died in the same year this piece was created, showcases mastery in metalwork and a fine appreciation for decorative detail. This charger is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of 17th-century pewter making.
