The antique silver bowl, made by Josef Carl Ritter von Klinkosch, radiates a timeless splendour that embodies the elegance and sophistication of 19th century Viennese craftsmanship. Its oval design, carefully decorated with openwork tendrils and ornate scrolls, almost looks like a delicate sculpture from nature itself. The curved edges flow harmoniously into four openwork feet, which lend the bowl a floating lightness, as if it were resting majestically on an invisible pedestal.
When held in the hand, the cool, heavy silver weighing approx. 740 g conveys a feeling of permanence and luxurious grandeur. Every single engraving, every little curve on the surface seems to tell a story - stories of imperial banquets, where the bowl served as a carrier for fruit or fine bread, or of a quiet parlour where it shone as a magnificent decorative piece.
The markings on the bowl are not only an indication of its origin, but also a seal of quality and exclusivity. The Diana head mark for 800 silver, the Klinkosch maker's mark and the imperial double-headed eagle of the Habsburg monarchy make it clear that this bowl was made by hand-picked imperial and royal court suppliers. This privilege was only granted to the very best.
This bowl is far more than just a utilitarian object. It is a testimony to times gone by, a masterpiece of silversmithing and a silent ambassador of Viennese tradition. Such an object not only enriches the room in which it stands, but also the stories that have been associated with it through the generations. A piece of history that still carries a touch of nobility into the present.
