Скачать или смотреть The luxurious silver of monk-silversmith Dom Martin

M - Museum Leuven highlights five centuries of silver for the first time. Religious treasures, luxury tableware, art deco objects and sixties design tell fascinating stories about the rich history of Leuven and Brabant.

The luxurious silver art deco work crafted by monk Dom Martin (1889–1965) is one of them. During the interbellum, the Abbey of Keizersberg played an important role in Leuven thanks to the presence of the monk-silversmith Dom Martin. He designed exclusive art-deco silver with luxury materials. After eighty years, his art deco gems are returning to Leuven temporarily.
