Schlevogt Hoffmann "Ingrid" Lapis Marbled Glass Lidded Box with Ormolu Mounts

About the Item

This rare Art Deco era hinged glass dresser box was made in Czechoslovakia and is part of the Ingrid series, named for the daughter of Henry Günther Schlevogt of the Curt Schlevogt glass manufactory and Charlotte Hoffman Schlevogt of the Heinrich Hoffmann glass manufactory. Schlevogt's Ingrid line was intended to be on par with the quality of carved stone sculpture and was designed in conjunction with artists associated with the leading design houses of the day including Wiener Werkstätte, Moser and J. & L. Lobmeyr. The lid of this Ingrid hinged dresser box is composed of pressed glass in a marbled blue color made to mimic the appearance of lapis lazuli, and has been hand finished. The piece features a stylized scene in deep relief with Classic Art Deco elements and depicts a semi-nude woman reaching towards a Borzoi. The dog stands beside a large potted flowering plant with a curvilinear stem. The base of the piece is made of black glass which provides a strong visual contrast to the color of the lid. The box is fitted with ornate filigree ormolu mounts. The underside of the box bears the acid etched Ingrid signature mark along with the words Czecho-Slovakia and Made Exclusively for Paris Decorators. Founded in 1911, the now defunct Paris Decorators firm was a New York based distributor of high end French art glass and home furnishings. This exquisite box would be a wonderful addition to a collection of Fine Czech art glass or works equally well displayed on its own.

  • Wright & Davies Sterling Silver Box Hand Painted Enamel Plaque with Genre Scene
    By Wright & Davies 1
    Located in Cincinnati, OH
    This fabulous rectangular sterling silver box was made in 1887 by English silversmiths William Thomas Wright and Frederick Davies and has been fitted with a hand painted enamel plaque on the lid that features a genre scene. The delightful image is set within an elegantly appointed salon and depicts an artist seated in front of a gilt-framed canvas that bears a partially completed portrait of a baby. The painter is surrounded by an entourage of sumptuously attired women who are attempting to capture the baby's attention and direct it toward the artist. The lid opens with a tapering tab at the front. The child's nurse holds her charge upright on a table that is covered by an ornate embroidered cloth trimmed in fringe. A lady dressed in purple stands next to her and leans toward the child in an attempt to cajole the baby into cooperating with the task at hand. The artist is seated opposite the child on an upholstered bench and holds his paintbrush in his right hand while simultaneously pointing up to a cluster of fruit. The fruit cluster is dangled by a lady dressed in a patterned yellow gown who wears a bemused expression on her face as she attempts to focus the baby's attention. Another woman dressed in blue and pink is seated in a green upholstered chair...
