Los talleres de platería de Sangüesa (Navarra). Los Plateros

Abstract

Sangüesa´s silversmith´s, though having medieval background, reached its highest splendour during the XVIth century. Forty four silvermiths, working and learning in this town, have been recorded. They belonged to Saint Eloy´s brotherhood and made a great number of works for churches in Navarra and Aragón, some of them marked with the stamp or punch of Sangüesa and his author. A plentiful documentation guarantees the historical accuracy of this investigation work.
