About the Item

A rare ca. 1895 Hanau, Germany .810 silver picture frame by B. Neresheimer & Sohne. The upper section shows a putti carrying a festoon with flowers. The whole frame is decorated with vegetal scrolls and acanthus leaves. On the sides, we can see a man and a woman with Rococo style gartments looking at each other. A cartouche can be seen on the lower section. The frame is sealed on the back, inside the edges that hold the picture. Weight: 399 g. Interior frame's dimensions: 13.5 x 9.5 cm. B. Neresheimer and Sohne is the most famous of the Hanau silversmiths working in the end of the 19th Century. Hanau manufacturers specialized in fine copies from the antique, in the most popular historical styles, generally marked with pseudo-hallmarks in the manner they were trying to imitate. Unlike the traditional hallmarks, pseudo hallmarks are not officially registered and the only way to identify Hanau artworks is by comparison with marked pieces. "In the silver goods trade, which is carried on under excellent conditions, the imitation of antiquities plays, and has always played, a large part, especially in the more spendid works of bygone times, and it is in this direction that Messrs. B. Neresheimer and Sohne are best known... I was able to see the careful and artistic manner in which they produced copies of the Old Masters. Nothing was too small or too larga, everything being copied with a care and minuteness which were indeed creditable... Nuremberg work, double lady cups, old goblets, snuff boxes and a hundred and one beautiful little objects which remain to show the beauty of the old German silversmiths". W. Augustus Steward
