47 Österreich: St. Stephans - Orden. Bruststern zum Großkreuz.

Brilliant example. Silver, the medallion gold and enamel. On pin with maker's mark of the court jewellers ‘C.F. ROTHE WIEN’. The translucent enamel of the medallion with the finest guilloché background. The medallion overlays in the finest goldsmith's sculpted work. A minimal hairline crack in the red enamel. In the somewhat later case of the court jewellers Rothe, Vienna.

A magnificent piece in the particularly elegant, slightly taller design from around 1860. The finest old Austrian jewellery quality.
