The Augsburg silversmith Carl Schuch was born in 1652 as the son of Hieronymus I Schuch. He became a master craftsman in 1682 and married Maria Barbara Peters in 1685. He held the office of foreman in 1724 and 1725 and died in 1731.
\nTwo lidded goblets on lion’s feet made by Carl Schuch and presented as gifts from the town of Torgau to Friedrich August I on the occasion of his hereditary homage on 20th July 1694 are now in the Gr\u00fcnes Gew\u00f6lbe of the Dresden State Art Collections (see here<\/a>). A Carl Schuch lidded tankard with engraved reserves is also in the collection of the St. Gallen Historical Museum and is illustrated in Seling 1980, no. 444.
\nThe present Augsburg hallmark is documented for works made between 1692 and 1697.<\/p>\n
