Goldsmith's art

Goldsmith's art

Silver and Gold – there is no better way to demonstrate power and wealth. This is illustrated by the outstanding examples of 16th to 18th century courtly and sacred goldsmiths´ work from the southern German centres of Augsburg, Nuremberg and Munich, thereby underscoring the collection’s international importance.
A dazzling highlight is the silver service of the Hildesheim Prince-Bishop Friedrich Wilhelm of Westphalia, the only completely preserved table ensemble by Augsburg goldsmiths of the 18th century.
