Dutch silversmith of German origin. In 1652 he married Sara Grill, the daughter of Andries. He is described in the documents as "a young man from ter Sleghien". In 1657 he is mentioned as a master of the silversmiths' guild of The Hague. An order for twenty lead statues for the Count of Oldenburg reveals that he was also a sculptor and modeller. A basin and ewer (private collection) and the silver-gilt goblet of the St Luke's guild of The Hague (Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam) are known to be his work. His style, which is excessively florid, is clearly German. It is probably based on ornamental prints. //
