Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to make known a series of unpublished news about Eduardo Rey Villaverde and his son Santiago Rey Montero, two silversmiths who, despite having been barely mentioned in the studies, we believe they had a great importance in the artistic panorama of their epoch. The methodology of our study has been the work in archives, to offer a documentary context in which to frame the silversmiths, and demonstrate their interest through the valuation, variety and importance of their commissions, as well as the mentions to their fame in the Compostela of their time. We have also managed to reconstruct their family tree, locate his workrooms, and make known a series of pieces unpublished so far.
