A RARE AND IMPORTANT BISCUIT BOX BY EMANUEL JOSEF MARGOLD FOR H. BAHLSEN KEKS-FABRIK, c.1913 Measurements approx 175mm wide by 82mm deep and 40mm high Base metal the underside impressed with Bahlsen trade mark and exhibition / prize details. The Bahlsen biscuit factory won numerous awards for this box design by Margold, including the Royal Prussian state medal during the world exhibition 1904, the Baltic exhibition in 1910 and the Royal medal in Malmo in 1914. Margold was a member of the Darmstadt artists' colony - a leading German centre for arts and crafts - and later a designer for the Wiener Werkstatte, working for a time as assistant to Josef Hoffmann. Aside from his celebrated corporate design for Bahlsen, of which this box is a famous example, he worked in ceramics, interior design and jewellery among other media. Condition: Excellent; this is an uncommonly good survivor. Externally, the pattern is very bright and clear and there are only the most minimal surface signs of age and use. The inside is a little faded, as shown in photo 3. There are no significant damages such as splits, dents or gouges to the metal or signs of restoration.

Payment and Postage Paypal is accepted and (unlike many European sellers) I do not add a surcharge to cover their fees. UK buyers only may also pay by cheque or postal order. If it's a cheque, please allow 7 to 10 days for it to clear. All buyers please make contact within 3 days of auction. Payment is required within 7 days. Non-payment All non-paying bidders are, without exception, reported to eBay. This is not for the sake of being vindictive, but because eBay charges retrospective fees calculated on the actual sale price of items and this money needs to be retrieved. It's hard enough to make ends meet on here as it is! Thank you for your understanding. Please refer to eBay's policy on non-payment for more information, including its ramifications for the bidder. Condition of items Please note that, unless clearly stated otherwise, my listings are for vintage/antique items and therefore, by definition, are not going to be in the same condition you would expect from a brand new item. Please be assured that I always endeavour to offer the most accurate description possible of the item's condition and take multiple illustrative photographs. Vintage electrical items Unless clearly stated otherwise in the description, vintage electrical items are sold in their original condition so should be safety checked by an electrician before use. Returns Returns are possible, if reported within 7 days and by prior arrangement, if a mistake has been made in the listing and the item is not as described, but for no other reason. I'm afraid that straightforward buyer's remorse does not qualify. That's it...please don't hesitate to e-mail me to ask any questions not covered above; I always answer as quickly as possible. Thanks very much for taking the time to read this and best of luck with your bidding! |
