KAYSERZINN (1862 -1925) German metallurgical company In 1862 the Kayser family, already based in Düsseldorf in the tin industry, opened a new foundry in the Krefeld district of Bockum. The company reached its maximum size in 1899 with a workforce of 400. The Krefeld foundry headed by Jean Kayser turned to mass production, so the designs originated from Englebert Kayser's Cologne studio. At world exhibitions in Paris (1900), Turin (1902), Düsseldorf and St. Louis (1904), the company had great success with its "Kayserzinn" or "Kayser Tin", a special lead-free alloy of tin and silver. . It is distinguished by its enduring brilliance, the success it owed to its prominent designers: Karl Geyer (1858-1912), Hermann Fauser (1874-1947), Karl Berghof (1881-1967) and others, but its main designer and artistic director it was Hugo LEVEN(1874-1956), a name that is compared to that of Liberty's chief pewter designer, Archibald KNOX. The decorations they designed drew inspiration from both floral French Art Nouveau and linear Jugendstil. The goal of the Kayser company, through the use of mass production methods, was to make contemporary Jugenstil objects for artistic use (from candlesticks, ashtrays, lamps, beakers, vases, tea and coffee sets) to be accessible to a wide audience. audience selection. The artistic significance of Kayserzinn died with the death of Engelbert Kayser in 1911.
