Main Article Content
Abstract
We know just a few references about the Aller family, related to the art of silversmithing in Santiago de Compostela in the nineteenth century. In this research, we have used unpublished documents, such as birth and marriage certificates from the civil registry to reconstruct the family tree, registrations of the schools of the Economic Society to specify their training, or industrial registrations of the municipal archive to locate their workshops. The fact that Manuel Aller Presas was the marker of the city, serves as a chronological instrument to date a large number of pieces of other silversmiths which also present his contrast mark. In addition, we have tried to collect all the known marks of silversmiths with surname Aller to attribute each one to its correct author.
