SILVER CABINET FIGURE OF A KNIGHT GERMANY, HANAU, LATE 19TH - EARLY 20TH CENTURY

SILVER CABINET FIGURE OF A KNIGHT GERMANY, HANAU, LATE 19TH - EARLY 20TH CENTURY

A silver cabinet figure of a knight in full armour, executed in the tradition of German Historicism. The sculpture depicts an armed warrior holding a sword and shield, standing on a polygonal decorative base. The figure is distinguished by the meticulous modelling of the armour, richly adorned with relief ornament, engraved elements and heraldic motifs. Parts of the armour are highlighted with light gilding, creating a refined play of light and shadow and enhancing the sculptural articulation of the composition.Particular expressiveness is given to the figure by the knight’s face carved from ivory. This technique is characteristic of German cabinet sculpture of the late 19th and early 20th centuries and creates a subtle polychrome effect that animates the sculptural image. The helmet is crowned with a decorative plume, the shield is decorated with heraldic fleurs-de-lis, and the posture of the figure follows a calm ceremonial stance typical of historic interpretations of the knightly theme in decorative arts.The base is conceived as an architectural plinth with relief ornamental panels and cartouches. At the corners of the base are small figures of fantastic animals that reinforce the Neo-Renaissance character of the composition. In its stylistic conception and iconography, the figure refers to the celebrated bronze sculptures surrounding the cenotaph of Emperor Maximilian I in the Hofkirche in Innsbruck, which became an important source of inspiration for decorative sculpture and silverwork at the turn of the 20th century.Hallmarks: Maker’s monogram “EFES”; German national silver hallmarks – crescent moon and crown; standard mark “800”.Dimensions: Height 30 cm. Width 10 cm.Weight: 903 g.Condition: Good. Minor traces of age and use.Provenance: Private collection, Hesse.Expertise: Expert report by Dr Daniel Suebsman, 2025. CITES certificate available.
