Charger 1630 - 1640

This silver charger, crafted by David Winckler in the early 17th century, exemplifies the intricate artistry of the period. The oval-shaped dish features a raised rim adorned with a delicate, embossed design. This design, known as repoussé, involves hammering a metal sheet from the back to create raised figures. The rim is embellished with a delicate floral pattern, punctuated by the presence of stylized, almost grotesque-looking faces. This charger is a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of the era, representing the fine artistry of silverwork.
