Catalogue Note
Johann Friedrich Straub, who came from the prominent Straub family of goldsmiths from Nuremberg, started his training in Karlstad in 1674 and later registered there as a goldsmith. He was later appointed as a councillor and, in 1690, as head of the local guild of goldsmiths. He died in his adopted country in 1713.
