Platería de Talavera de la Reina (siglos XVI al XVIII) en la Alta Extremadura. Obras marcadas por Juan de Ledesma, Juan Váez, Blas Carrasco, Juan Domínguez, Pedro de Soto y Loaysa y José Sánchez Crespo

Abstract

Several pieces marked by silversmiths from Talavera de la Reina are studied. The great processional cross and the chalice of Castañar de Ibor stand out, unpublished Gothic-Renaissance works by the notable silversmith Juan de Ledesma. The Mannerist chalice from Villar del Pedroso is important, with a hitherto unpublished mark by Juan Váez. Blas Carrasco carved out the purist custody of Cabezuela del Valle in 1674: it has his mark, unpublished. The work is complemented by other works from the 17th and 18th centuries: those made by Juan Domínguez for Losar de la Vera y Serradilla and that by José Sánchez Crespo for Peraleda de la Mata stand out.
