Chased And Repoussé Silver Ewer, Hansburg, C. 1725–1730

Refined silver ewer attributed to the Hansburg workshop, circa 1725–1730. The baluster-shaped body, lobed stepped base and the richly worked handle reveal the stylistic transition from late Baroque to early Rococo in the Central European decorative arts
The surface is fully engraved with rocaille motifs and scrollwork, while a figurative relief depicts a seated lady beside a column in a pastoral landscape, possibly of allegorical meaning
The visible hallmarks, including a circled “W” and a six-pointed star, connect the piece to Hansburg craftsmanship and evoke the artistic legacy of Georg Born (1638), a prominent German master silversmith
A rare and precious object, bearing witness to the sophisticated silversmithing of early 18th-century Germany.
