History and curiosity of this subject:
Florenz was one of Vienna's first and oldest weighing and weighing factories in Austria-Hungary. The first founder was in 1768, followed by Florenz and whose descendants developed their products up to the twentieth century. In the late 18th century, society became even an imperial supplier. The Napoleonic wars then brought the company into financial trouble. Thanks to the inventions, innovations, acquisitions and the use of new technological methods, the factory has been able to expand its market beyond the borders of the Austrian Empire. In 1900 almost all pharmacies of the monarchy, such as Imperial and Royal Court Pharmacy, had Florenz products.

- 19th Century, J. Florenz Wien Chrome Steel Austrian Balance, 11 Brass WeightsLocated in Vigonza, Padua19th century, chrome steel Austrian balance, by J. Florenz Wien, 11 brass weights, 5 kg. This precious antique table scale was from the famous Caffè Florian in Venice Caffè Florian is a historic café in the city of Venice, located under the arcades of the Procuratie Nuove in Piazza San Marco. It is the oldest Italian coffee and the oldest coffee in the world. It was inaugurated on December 29, 1720 by Floriano Francesconi with the name of Alla Venezia Trionfante, but immediately the Venetians simply said “andemo da Florian-let's go to Florian”, from the name of the owner in the Venetian dialect. Since then it has continued its daily coffee business uninterruptedly to the present day, becoming a favorite destination for Venetians, Italians and foreigners. Floriano Francesconi inspired the character of Ridolfo in Carlo Goldoni's coffee shop. Giacomo Casanova courted the ladies there and Carlo Goldoni entered as a boy.

- 19th Century French Gothic Sacrament CabinetLocated in Dallas, TX19th Century French Gothic Sacrament cabinet was artfully sculpted from solid oak and fruitwood to create a remarkable religious artifact designed to be appreciated throughout the ages! The trapezoidal form of the casework is in keeping with the Gothic style, which historians concur originated in the Cathedral of St. Denis during the middle of the 12th century. Boldly molded crown follows the complex contours and overlooks the case below which features a single door flanked by cornerposts that feature pilasters facing front as well as the sides, with recessed arched panels topped with recessed circular frames above filled with carved rosettes highlighted in gold. The arched recesses facing the front are also filled with carved floral and wheat motifs also highlighted in gold, representing the Bread of Life. The door panel, however, steals the show, with a gloriously carved relief work depicting both wheat and fully laden grapevines adding the significance of the Blood of Christ...Category
