Kísérlet néhány magyarországi ötvösjegy feloldására XIII.

Abstract

The study is the new installment of a series running already for 23 years. The author systematically collects masters' marks of goldsmith's ware mostly cropping up in the art trade, trying to identify the towns and masters with the help of earlier research literature (Elemér Kőszeghy, 1936; Ilona P. Brestyánszky, 1977; Emília Földes 1978), often correcting the information they provide. The work is complemented by thorough archival research, with all available data about identified goldsmiths in city registers being published. The present paper identifies the works and marks of Pest goldsmiths (Ignác Ábrahámfy, Károly Steindl, Lajos Müller, Károly Stammer, first half of 19th century). The next unit comprises the goldsmithing of Eger, Győr, Kolozsvár (Cluj-Napoca, Romania) (Josephus Mikovinyi, Adolf Ecker, György Péterfy, János Sárga) and Nagyvárad (Oradea, Romania) (Károly Schvambek) of 19th century. He enriches our knowledge of the goldsmiths of the one-time capital of Hungary, Pozsony (Bratislava, Slovakia) with new marks and objects (Melchior Gassur, Leopod Dorfner, Johann Christoph Holstein from the 17–18th centuries), and from Pozsony-Vártelek from the 19th century.
