Hermann Boehm Furniture

This stunning casket combines opulent materials with careful craftsmanship to produce an outstanding example of late 19th Century Viennese craftsmanship. It is built from blue lapis lazuli, and mounted with enamel, silver, rock crystal, pearls and gemstones, creating a spectacularly richly-coloured piece. The casket is the work of the late 19th century enamellist Hermann Bohm (active from 1866), responsible in no small part for ensuring the acclaimed reputation which 19th Century Viennese enamel now enjoys. It is roughly rectangular in form, with a body built from lapis lazuli and mounted around its edges with silver. Throughout the piece, there are inset panels of enamelled decorations, including architectural niches showing enamelled figures, and circular panels which are mounted with pearls. The casket is surmounted by a wonderfully-detailed king and queen figure. The main body of the casket is also decorated with rock crystal pillars...
