Product Details
Description
Elaborately decorated casket from noble origin in excellent condition:
Wooden body stained black in the shape of a shrine with a stepped structure on a rectangular base, standing on four square wooden feet, a recessed base with an integrated drawer running across the entire width and depth, above which is a stepped, recessed square box element with two hinged doors at the front, inside the box are three drawers, two attached aedicules on the sides - niches covered with arched elements with pairs of blue enamelled columns in front - housing two faun statuettes made of gold bronze and each set with a small owl statuette, cover
projecting over the box element with four baluster-shaped fittings at the corners, centrally arched stepped roof structure crowned with a four-pass wooden box with clock, on top of which is a fully sculpted putto in fish costume.
All surfaces covered with plaques of various sizes and shapes with the finest coloured enamel painting, the doors also on the inside, as well as the front sides of the hidden drawers.
Depiction of mythological scenes, arabesque-shaped fittings and leaf decorations between and around the plaques, the plaques framed by elaborate brass zigzag bands.
All fittings and figurative elements are made of brass and gilded bronze.
Excellent and detailed quality of workmanship, as is typical of Viennese enamel art.
Clock from Ferdinand Berthoud à Genève, Switzerland, dial with combined time display: overall dial with second scale and large, delicate central indicator, integrated with three additional displays showing hours (bottom), weekdays (top right, French) and month (top left, days 1-31), working movement, winding key included.
Ferdinand Berthoud (1727–1807) was a scientist and master watchmaker. He was born in Plancemont, Switzerland, and spent most of his life in Paris, where he eventually became 'watchmaker to the king and the navy'. He will forever be associated with the manufacture of marine chronometers, which were used in the 18th century to determine the longitude of ships at sea. In 2006, Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, co-president of Chopard and an avid collector of watch artefacts, acquired the Ferdinand Berthoud name. The revived company,
Chronométre Ferdinand Berthoud, launched its first model, the FB1, in 2015.
Dedication in the bottom large drawer, cardboard label affixed with black ink: 'Von Achduke Franz Ferdinand Graf Ludwig Joseph Maria of Austria Zum Sophie Maria Josephine A. C. von Chatkow und Wognin. 1913.'('From Archduke
Franz Ferdinand Count Ludwig Joseph Maria of Austria to Sophie Maria Josephine A. C. von Chatkow und Wognin. 1913.')
Archduke Franz Ferdinand Carl Ludwig Joseph Maria of Austria-Este (born 18 December 1863 in Graz; died 28 June 1914 in Sarajevo) was a member of the House of Habsburg-Lorraine and heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary from
1896. He and his wife, Duchess Sophie von Hohenberg, were killed in the Sarajevo assassination by Bosnian Serb nationalist Gavrilo Princip. The assassination triggered the July Crisis, which led to the First World War shortly afterwards.
Sophie Maria Josephine Albina Countess Chotek von Chotkowa und Wognin (born 1 March 1868 in Stuttgart; died 28 June 1914 in Sarajevo), Princess from 1900 and Duchess of Hohenberg from 1909, was a Bohemian noblewoman and wife of the Austrian heir to the throne Franz Ferdinand. She was killed with him in the Sarajevo assassination that triggered the First World War. She was the ancestor of the Dukes and Princes of Hohenberg.
