An amazingly complete twelve piece Austro Hungarian silver vanity set dating from the last years of the 19th century
Crafted in Vienna by Joseph Carl Klinkosch the set has everything you could possibly want – perfume bottles with original stoppers, silver topped crystal jars for every use, a double sided hand mirror and the most amazing large stand mirror.
Joseph Carl Klinkosch was the son of the silversmith Carl Klinkosch and apprenticed at his father workshop. He became a certified silversmith in 1844 and took over his father’s business in 1851.
The firm participated in the Viennese World Exhibition of 1873 and the Parisian Exposition Universelle in 1878.
From 1855 Klinkosch held the Imperial Warrant to the Court of Emperor Franz Josef of Austria. Klinkosch retired in 1884 and the company passed to his two sons, Arthur and Isidor.
This magnificent set perfectly shows this quality of work
