Roth box fully cast, surprise looked repousee.

Post by gsmoggy »

Hi Members
I have just received my latest box,very surprised all cast,I have not come across this before,I thought I was made in the repousee method.
Is this classed as a lesser box because it is cast ?or is there no difference ?

I feel it is around 1880-190 in the Historismus style ,and I feel is well made and feels good to hold,with a good weight (heavier because cast,naturally)

Is this classed as an electrotype piece? or was this made with the lost wax process,or another method sand cast etc.
would be interested in any thoughts.

Regards Guido.

Hi,
Hanau mark crossover; fleur de lys attributed to Neresheimer and crowned P attributed to Georg Roth.

Scroll down to number 3.
In regard of casting,I suppose simple mould method was used for mass production, i.e. lost wax is too demanding.

Hi AG
thanks for quick reply,

Not sure where Neresheimer fits in ,look like only Roth marks to me.
Did they work together?

Of course they worked together, everyone worked with everyone if there was demand to sell or export order to meet, or to save on moulds or steel stamps. Even today jewelers work together, one model cast in thousands of pieces and distributed to a dozen of shops. That`s how profit works.
