This paper focuses on the study of one of Barcelona's most prestigious silversmiths, who used the symbol of a horseshoe as his personal mark. Among the twenty-two works that are preserved with his mark, many were wrongly attributed to other artists and ten of them are now made known for the first time. His long professional career of fifty-five years of activity enabled him to produce a wide range of works of both religious and domestic use, those of the 18th century in the Rococo style and those of the 19th century in the Neoclassical style.
