SILVER CABINET FIGURE OF A KNIGHT GERMANY, HANAU, EFES, TURN OF THE 19TH - 20TH CENTURIES
SILVER CABINET FIGURE OF A KNIGHT GERMANY, HANAU, EFES, TURN OF THE 19TH - 20TH CENTURIES
An elegant silver cabinet figure of a knight created in the tradition of German Historicism of the first quarter of the 20th century. The sculpture depicts a warrior in full ceremonial armor holding a sword and shield, standing on an architectural pedestal of complex polygonal form. The figure is executed with pronounced decorative expressiveness: the cuirass, lamellar elements of the thigh armor, richly ornamented pauldrons and the helmet with a plume are carefully modeled. The silver surface is worked in repoussé and partially chased techniques, creating a refined play of light and emphasizing the relief structure of the armor.A distinctive artistic feature of the object is the face carved from ivory. This contrast of materials, typical of German cabinet sculpture from the late 19th to early 20th century, enhances the effect of polychromy and gives the figure a vivid and theatrical character. The shield is decorated with a relief depiction of an armored hand with a weapon, while the pedestal is enriched with cartouches, mascarons and small sculptural figures of fantastic animals placed at the corners. The entire composition reflects the aesthetics of Renaissance armorial and funerary sculpture reinterpreted within the tradition of Hanau collectible silver.Marks: Maker’s mark of the Efes workshop; German state silver marks in the form of a crescent and crown; silver standard mark “800”.Dimensions: Height 29.5 cm. Width 10 cm.Weight: 840 g.Condition: Good collectible condition.Provenance: Private collection, Hesse. Expert report: Dr Daniel Suebsman, 2025. CITES certificate available.

SILVER TOBACCO BOX WITH ENAMEL DECORATION CHINA, EARLY 20TH CENTURY
SILVER TOBACCO BOX WITH ENAMEL DECORATION CHINA, EARLY 20TH CENTURY
An exquisite silver box of rectangular form with gently rounded corners, decorated on both sides with polychrome enamel. The enamel decoration is composed of lush floral arrangements featuring fully blossomed peonies, buds, and dense foliage. The ornament is applied to both the lid and the reverse side, forming a cohesive decorative ensemble.The composition is executed in a manner characteristic of Chinese decorative art, with softly modelled petals and subtle tonal gradations. The peonies, rendered in lilac-purple and white tones with green foliage, are associated in Chinese artistic tradition with notions of honour, wealth, rank, and prosperity. In museum descriptions, they are often identified as one of the most significant auspicious motifs in Chinese decorative arts.The smooth silver side panels form a restrained frame for the enamel plaques. The hinge is neatly constructed, and the lid closes tightly. The object was intended for storing tobacco or smoking accessories and belongs to the category of Chinese export silver of the early 20th century, a period when decorative works in metal, enamel, lacquer, and porcelain were actively produced for both the domestic market and international trade.Marks: Absent or indistinct on the present example.Dimensions: Length: cm; Width: cm; Height: cm.Weight: g.Condition: Good. Minor signs of use. The enamel is well preserved, with possible minimal age-related hairline cracks.Provenance: Private collection.
