El 25 de febrero de 1769 el platero Toribio Zamudio comenzó un pleito judicial ante las autoridades locales contra el gremio de plateros de Santiago, para poder abrir tienda pública y así ejercer su oficio como maestro. Los menestrales mayores de la jerarquía gremial se mostraron renuentes a la aceptación de este nuevo miembro y levantaron una serie de trabas a las intenciones del maestro limeño basadas en las ordenanzas de 1760. Estas ordenanzas buscaban frenar los desórdenes, engaños, robos y malos trabajos de los artesanos plateros. Para estos fines se establecieron normas de entrada al gremio, que fueron desde la aprobación de exámenes técnicos ante comisiones evaluadoras, la presentación de antecedentes de buenas costumbres y el aporte de fiadores que solventaran a modo de avales los trabajos. Por tanto, este artículo busca analizar la contienda judicial entre el artesano limeño Toribio Zamudio y el gremio de plateros de Santiago de Chile. Este estudio de caso nos permitirá apreciar las complejas relaciones sociolaborales al interior de los menestrales plateros en la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII, las que estarán marcadas por lógicasde conflictos internos en torno a la inserción artesanal laboral, la migración urbana y el prestigio social.
