A rare well made German Hanau solid sterling silver miniature model. It is hallmarked with German Hanau marks along with English import marks for London 1900 with the importer being John George Smith. It has been superbly designed being modelled in the form of a military sentry post. It in super condition being free from dings splits holes and repairs, slight upturn to a base corner and I think his sword should be a touch longer.

FAQs

Hanau silver refers to silver items crafted in Hanau, Germany, during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, renowned for recreating historic antique styles including Rococo, Baroque, and Renaissance motifs.

Antique silver miniatures were typically crafted using cast, repousse, and chased silver techniques to produce detailed miniature architectural elements, figures, and household objects.

Authentic Hanau silver can often be identified by pseudo-hallmarks or specific silversmith marks from notable workshops such as Neresheimer, designed to imitate historical maker and town marks.

These decorative objects are best displayed inside a glazed vitrine, upon a styled tray, or arranged on a bookshelf alongside leather-bound volumes and curiosity objects.

Light tarnishing should be gently removed with a soft microfibre cloth formulated for silver, avoiding abrasive chemical cleaners that could wear down delicate chased details.
