Catalogue Note
Paul Jobst Süry, whose year of birth is unknown, came from an established family of goldsmiths from Hildesheim. He trained in the workshop of Johann Otto Graffe from 1684 to 1688, but he became a master goldsmith only in 1696. Four years later he married Anna Elisabeth, daughter of the goldsmith Burchardt Johann Weigel I. Süry mostly produced objects for Catholic rites and was entrusted with gilding the central dome of Hildesheim Cathedral (1718-1721). He died in 1731.
