Resumo: | From the rigor and complexity of the silversmith’s work, translated into the rules in the Regimento dos ourivezes da prata of 1572, an important precept was defined in relation to the requirement for the quality and artistic guarantee of the silver objects – the marking of the silver works – by asserting the city hallmarks. Although a century earlier, in 1460, an provision had established that the silversmiths of Lisbon mark their objects with the city’s hallmark, the law was not always enforced. It was only in 1688 that a consultation of the Senate of the Lisbon City Council determined the necessity of a regiment for the position of assay office in the city, which, after a concordant royal resolution, would be decreed in July 1689.In this document there is an alteration of the old custom which gave the judges of the corporation the duty to mark the pieces presented to them by the silversmiths. From now on, this position was of municipal appointment. The importance of the role of the assay office as the guarantor of the legality of the silver used by the silversmiths became essential throughout the whole XVIII century and the following, as he was responsable for the examination of the silver objects produced. |

Embora já um século antes, em 1460, uma provisão afonsina estabelecesse que os ourives de Lisboa fizessem marcar os seus artefactos com a marca da cidade, assegurando o toque mínimo da prata de onze dinheiros, a obrigatoriedade da lei nem sempre terá sido cumprida. Seria apenas em 1688, que uma consulta do Senado da Câmara de Lisboa determinava a necessidade de um regimento para o cargo de ensaiador da cidade, que, após resolução régia concordante, seria decretado em julho de 1689.Constata-se, nesse documento, a alteração do antigo costume que conferia aos juízes do ofício o dever de marcar as peças que lhes fossem apresentadas pelos ourives da prata, cujo cargo, agora vitalício, era de nomeação municipal. A importância do papel do ensaiador enquanto garante oficial da legalidade do toque da prata utilizada pelos ourives assumiu-se essencial no decurso de toda a centúria de Setecentos e na seguinte, na medida em que figurava como o responsável pelo exame das peças produzidas por estes profissionais.Câmara Municipal de Lisboa2017-06-09info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.48751/CAM-2017-7201https://doi.org/10.48751/CAM-2017-7201Cadernos do Arquivo Municipal; No. 7 (2017): Lisbon and the decorative arts: works, artists, projects; 83-110Cadernos do Arquivo Municipal; Núm. 7 (2017): Lisboa y las artes decorativas: obras, artistas, proyectos; 83-110Cadernos do Arquivo Municipal; No 7 (2017): Lisbonne et les arts décoratifs : œuvres, artistes, projets; 83-110Cadernos do Arquivo Municipal; N.º 7 (2017): Lisboa e as artes decorativas: obras, artistas, projetos; 83-1102183-3176reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://cadernosarquivo.cm-lisboa.pt/index.php/am/article/view/201https://cadernosarquivo.cm-lisboa.pt/index.php/am/article/view/201/165Direitos de Autor (c) 2017 Rita Carlosinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCarlos, Rita2023-03-04T08:30:33Zoai:ojscadernosarquivo.cm-lisboa.pt:article/201Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:48:12.862908Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
