Summary

Research reveals a rich history of silversmithing in Ávila, Spain, with evidence of dozens of silversmiths from Madrid, Ávila, Naples, and other regions active in the 18th and 19th centuries. These artisans were responsible for crafting or repairing silver works in various parishes across the region, as documented through meticulous analysis of account books. The study sheds light on the cultural and economic significance of silversmithing during this period, highlighting its role in both artistic expression and religious practices.
