Antique French Gilt Bronze Casket – Dated 17 & 20 Août 1872, High-Relief Figural Work An exceptional and museum-worthy antique French gilt-bronze jewellery casket, richly adorned in high relief and inscribed “17 et 20 Août 1872”, offering both historical significance and outstanding artistic craftsmanship. This remarkable 19th-century piece exemplifies the finest traditions of French decorative arts, featuring intricately cast and chased panels depicting romantic pastoral and mythological scenes. Each side presents finely sculpted figures – nymphs, cherubs, musicians, and classical subjects set within lush landscapes and framed by elaborate foliate scrollwork and naturalistic ornamentation. The lid is masterfully composed with dynamic figural decoration, while the casket stands proudly on sculptural zoomorphic feet, enhancing its dramatic presence and luxurious character. The deep relief work, combined with a warm, aged gilt patina, creates exceptional depth and visual richness. The engraved date suggests a commemorative or presentation piece, adding a rare layer of provenance and desirability for collectors of French ormolu, Grand Tour objects, and fine 19th-century bronzes. This is not merely a decorative object but a statement piece of historical artistry, ideal for collectors, interior designers, or high-end decorative settings.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation. Shortly before the foundation of WMF, Daniel Straub had founded his first manufacturing company, Maschinenfabrik Geislingen, in connection with his participation in the construction of the Geislinger Steige, the steepest railway line in Europe at the time. As experienced metal spinners, the brothers Friedrich and Louis Schweizer were able to contribute their technical expertise to the project. Most early designs for the company looked to past historical styles although early recognition of the quality of its products included the award of a Gold Medal at the 1862 International Exhibition in London. The company showroom, established in Berlin in 1868, was its first retailing outlet and marked the beginnings of a rapid development in scale. By 1880, when the company merged with Ritter & Co. to form the Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik, the company employed about 200 and had a range of nearly 1,000 products, many of them electroplated. In the late 19th century the company was also involved in architectural decoration, ornaments for the home and replicas of works of art and archaeology, including the reproduction of Lorenzo Ghiberti's famous early Italian Renaissance doors...
