EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning Tankard, Brasso from around 1700. Crafted by the talented Georgius III Olescher, this silver-gilt masterpiece stands at an impressive height of 29 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The tankard's design is truly remarkable, featuring a shaped cylindrical body resting on a domed foot with a stepped border. The surface is adorned with intricate repousse and chased decorations depicting colonettes of bellflowers, cherubs, baskets of fruit and flowers. Every detail has been meticulously crafted to create an ornate and visually striking piece. The tankard also boasts additional exquisite elements such as the lidded cover with its bifurcated scroll thumbpiece and later lion finial. The scroll handle features the sculpted torso and head of a female figure, adding another layer of elegance to this already opulent creation. Markings can be found under the base, indicating its authenticity and origin. This Hungarian work of art exemplifies baroque aesthetics through its use of columns, swags, floral motifs, panels, and foliate designs. With its elaborate decoration and meticulous metalwork techniques including chasing and repousse workmanship; this tankard represents not only exceptional craftsmanship but also serves as an embodiment of historical significance within decorative arts.
