About the Item

Antique late-19th Century An exceptional Austrian solid silver gilt and enamel twin-handled vase. It stands on a domed base adorned with strapwork bands featuring pierced foliage and masks. The caryatid handles end in female busts, while the body showcases intricate hand-painted classical allegorical scenes on plaques. Hallmarked Austrian-Hungarian silver assay city letter A (Vienna), Makers mark HB (Hermann Bohm). Hermann Böhm (also spelled Boehm) was a famous silversmith and enameler working in Vienna between the end of the 19th century until 1922. Originally from Hungary, he moved to Austria in 1866 and started working as a silversmith with his father-in-law Ludwig Politzer. He specialised mainly in vases, table ornaments and novelty objects in the Renaissance revival style and inspired by the antique. In Germany and Austria the neo-Renaissance style developed in the final decades of the 19th century alongside the growth of a national identity, and took the name of Historismus or Historicism. By the time of the Vienna International Exhibition in 1873, Bohm was already considered one of the most prominent Austrian enamelers, among the likes of Hermann Ratzersdorfer, Ludwig Politzer, Rudolf Linke and Karl Bank. The very high quality of his silver-mounted enamelled artworks received international acclaim at the Exposition Universelle in Paris 1889. He also exhibited at the International Fair in Paris in 1899 receiving international acclaim. On that occasion, the British correspondent for the London trade journal, the ‘Jeweller & Metal Worker’, spent these words about his artworks: ‘Böhm ... indeed counts its chief glory to give perfect reproductions of grand medieval pieces, rich of gems and enamel of many colours, while even his modern specimens of the goldsmith’s and jewellers’ art are so quaint and old-world in time and feeling that they have the charm of heirlooms … the effect is gorgeous without being barbaric ...’ CONDITION In Great Condition - Wear expected with age.
