Measurements: 12 x 23 x 17 cm.
Chest made of embossed silver and vermeil silver. The piece is decorated with figurative scenes of historicist character. The term "historicism" (Historismus) was coined by the German philosopher Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel. Over time, what historicism is and how it is practiced has taken on different and divergent meanings. Elements of historicism appear in the writings of French essayist Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) and Italian philosopher GB Vico (1668-1744), and were more fully developed with the dialectics of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770-1831), influential in 19th-century Europe.
