Carl Isak Rylander

Carl Isak Rylander made silver and gold church plates and portraits for wealthy Swedes in the late 1700s. Look at “Majuri C. G. Virgin,” a delicate chalice he hammered and chased, or the tiny “Nuoren naisen muotokuva,” a silver portrait of a young woman framed in delicate wire. If you like the gleam of historic metalwork, tap “Majuri C. G. Virgin” to see more of his shiny craft.
