Hello Everyone;
I am a relative newcomer to the field and have mainly dealt with British silver. However, I recently encountered these markings on a small silver gilt box and am seeking help with identifying the year. I realise it is early 19th century (1801-1820), made in Vienna, but can’t quite identify the exact year, nor the maker, nor what the 4 represents. Any assistance would be gratefully received.
Best wishes,
P
Hi P
Your Mark is for S. E. Starckloff.
The marks 4 and double headed eagle on box dated 1833.
From Wiener Silber 1780-1866 vol 1 Waltraud Neuwirth 1988 (snuffboxes)
Eduard Stephan Starklof (Starckloff)
There are about 5 boxes by him in the book, text all in German,
looks like he was a very prominent maker ,if I am reading it correctly looks like he started around
1811.
regards Charlie.
HI P
looks like he worked 1811-1844.
