Standing Cup and Cover Supported by an Enchained Turk. Culture: German, perhaps Frankfurt-am-Main. Dimensions: H. 16 in. (40.6 cm). Date: ca. 1705-11. This domed cup supported by the figure of a bearded Turk is richly decorated in many precious materials worked in a variety of techniques. The carved alabaster figure, enchained in jewels, bears a jade cup and cover surmounted by an elaborate finial. Pierced gold hunting figures, trophies, classical statues, birds, and beasts radiate from the center of the cup and lid, all enframed in garlands and blossoms. Eight chalcedony male and female busts, some with rose diamonds, rubies, and enameled coronets, encircle the cup and its base. The finial has a circular medallion of chalcedony and gold that displays the double eagle of the Habsburg empire. The coat of arms of three ecclesiastical electors appears on the opposite side of the medallion. The front and back of the cup also display the arms of electors: Brandenburg, Hanover, Bohemia, and Sachsen, Pfalz, Bayern, respectively. The base is jade with pierced gold ornament, the whole enriched with cameos, rubies, and rose diamonds. The nine electoral arms in the cup's decorative scheme suggest that the piece was made at the turn of the eighteenth century, as an official gift to be presented on the occasion of an imperial election in Frankfurt am Main. It was there that Holy Roman Emperors were elected and crowned. Indeed, as so many specialists were called upon to complete the cup, it was certainly made in a prosperous town like Frankfurt, where the finest goldsmiths flourished. The cup's style of decoration would suggest that it was made and held in readiness for the crowning of Charles VI as Holy Roman Emperor (r. 1711-40). Casting the supporting figure as a Turk, enslaved and encumbered, signifies the proud imperial defeat of the Turks at the close of the seventeenth century. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
