Georg Philip Matthäus Böse (1772-1842); he served as the head of the Herrnhut Brüderische Goldschmiedewerkstatt from 1794 to 1803. The “Brüdergemeine” (sort of a combination private regulatory guild and collective workshop) existed from 1745 until 1852 when it was sold to goldsmith Gustav Ferdinand Burkhardt (1808-1884).
