A silver gilt toilette garniture made for the Counts of Beissel v. Gymnich.

1st half 18th and early 19th ct. Comprising a lavabo garniture (the basin with maker's mark of Esaias Stenglin), a large Augsburg toilette box with lid and lock, two large and two small facetted oval toilette boxes, two large and two small octagonally facetted toilette boxes with unidentified maker's mark "P", early 19th ct.and two screw-top bottles (unmarked, presumably 1st half 18th C.). All pieces with the arms of the Counts of Beissel v. Gymnich and the Barons of Fürstenberg-Neheim. H of jug 26; W of large box 20.5; D 15; H 9.5 cm, total weight 3,962 g.

This toilette service was a wedding gift at the marriage of Count Franz Beissel v. Gymnich (1798-1863) to Marie Therese Baroness v. Fürstenberg-Neheim (1800-1850) in 1829. On this occasion, parts of an existing toilette garniture were supplemented with works by a - presumably Rhenish - master.

Provenance

Formerly in the possession of the Counts of Beissel von Gymnich, hence by descent.
