Lot Essay

Karl Rössler was born in 1854 in Niederpolitz, Bohemia, now called Dolní Police in the Czech Republic, and became one of the foremost practitioners of Revivalist goldsmith's work operating in late nineteenth century Vienna. Rössler, together with Hermann Ratzersdorfer and Hermann Böhm, was one of a small number of jewelers and goldsmiths specializing in fine painted enamel and hardstone mounted prunkstücke objects in the Mannerist and Renaissance Revival styles. Registered in business in 1890,
Karl Rössler is recorded as a Juwelier und Goldarbeiter specialising in 'Kunstgewerbliche Gegenstände in Gold und Silber. - Email und Antique-Imitation'.
