Recognized for his technically superior and beautiful metal patinations for tableware, Munich born Ludwig Vierthaler’s designs and metalwork caught the attention of Tiffany & Co., NY, for whom he worked in the mid-1890s. 1906 proved to be a decisive year in his career. Though Vierthaler had left his position as the Director of Design at J. Winhart & Co. earlier that year, examples of his work for Winhart were shown along with collaborative work with Eugen Ehrenbock at the Bayerishe Jubilaums-Landers-Ausstellung in Nuremburg - for which he received a gold medal - and at the Deutsche Kunstgewerbe-Ausstellung in Dresden -for which he received a silver medal. He and Ehrenbock formalized their partnership in 1907. Vierthaler later expanded his metalwork output to include jewelry and lighting design as well as figural and ornamental building decoration design. A member of the Deutscher Werkbund...

An oil painting on canvas showing a portrait of a classical maiden depicted as a vestal virgin dressed in classical attire, having chestnut hair concealed by a guarnello or thin veil and holding a Roman oil lamp.

Antique Coronation of Mary Religious Chromolithograph with Gold Tones This richly colored antique religious chromolithograph depicts the Coronation of the Virgin Mary, one of the most important devotional themes in Catholic iconography. The composition shows Mary seated among heavenly clouds, modestly inclining her head as Christ gently places the golden crown upon her, while God the Father looks on from the opposite side. Above them, the Holy Spirit appears in the form of the descending dove, radiating divine light. Surrounding the scene, four cherubs float among soft clouds, holding floral garlands and lilies as symbols of purity and divine grace. The scene is executed in vibrant late-19th or early-20th century chromolithography, a technique prized for its intense color saturation and painterly softness. The gold halos, crown, and heavenly glow give the print a luminous presence that shifts beautifully with changing light. The palette combines warm golds, rich blues, soft flesh tones, and delicate pastels, making this one of the most visually striking devotional compositions of its type. This image was most likely published in Germany for the Catholic devotional market, where high-quality chromolithographs were produced for churches, schools, and private home altars. The multilingual caption along the lower margin, referencing the Coronation of Mary in several European languages, confirms its international devotional circulation. The Coronation of Mary is a theological subject derived from the belief in Mary’s assumption into heaven and her role as Queen of Heaven. This theme became especially popular in 19th-century Catholic visual culture as part of renewed Marian devotion. The imagery here directly reflects that revival, emphasizing gentleness, divine hierarchy, and celestial harmony. Because of its powerful religious symbolism, radiant gold accents, and exceptional color quality, this print works beautifully both as a devotional object and as a decorative statement piece in classical, ecclesiastical, or traditional interiors. It also fits exceptionally well within collections of Catholic imagery, Marian iconography, or antique chromolithographs. Condition Good to very good antique condition. Light overall age toning consistent with age. Minor edge wear and soft handling marks visible at the margins. Colors remain strong and vibrant. No major tears or losses observed. Plate mark not present, as expected for chromolithography. Framing Tips This piece frames beautifully in a classic gold leaf frame to enhance the gold halos and crown. A deep dark blue, ivory, or soft champagne mat adds contrast and visual depth. For a more dramatic presentation, a black frame with gold inner slip also works extremely well.

Holy Family in the Carpenter’s Workshop, Antique German Chromolithograph c.1900 This beautifully composed late nineteenth-century German chromolithograph portrays the Holy Family in an intimate domestic scene set in the carpenter’s workshop of Saint Joseph. Saint Joseph is shown at work with hand tools, shaping wood with calm concentration, while the young Christ stands beside him holding a carpenter’s mallet and plane, symbolically participating in the labor of His earthly father. The Virgin Mary sits quietly nearby, spinning or winding thread, watching over both with serene devotion. All three figures bear softly glowing halos, emphasizing their sacred presence within this everyday setting. The composition is rich in symbolic meaning. The carpenter’s tools and wooden beams reference Christ’s future Passion and the cross, while the youthful participation of Christ in Joseph’s trade underscores the themes of obedience, humility, and the sanctification of daily labor. The Madonna’s gesture toward her heart reflects maternal love and quiet contemplation. Through the open landscape beyond the wall, distant hills and buildings evoke the Holy Land and create depth and peace within the scene. This type of Holy Family imagery was especially popular in Catholic households at the turn of the century, intended as a model for family life rooted in faith, work, and devotion. The scene offered both spiritual instruction and emotional warmth, presenting the Holy Family not in glory, but in humble daily life. Such images were widely displayed in private homes, schools, convents, and parish buildings. The print was produced using traditional chromolithography, a complex multi-stone printing process that allowed for the rich, luminous colors and fine painterly detail visible in the drapery, skin tones, and landscape. The halos, floral elements, and wooden textures show exceptionally fine tonal control. This is a genuine period devotional chromolithograph and not a modern reproduction. The lower margin printing confirms German production for the Catholic devotional market. Large-format Holy Family scenes of this quality and color preservation are becoming increasingly scarce and are highly desirable to collectors of religious iconography and historic devotional prints. Condition report: Very good overall condition. Colors remain strong, fresh, and well saturated. Light age toning visible mainly in the margins. Minor handling wear consistent with age. No major tears, losses, or water damage observed. The image area itself is clean and visually striking. Framing tips: This print displays beautifully in a soft gilt or antique gold frame that complements the warm tones of the workshop setting. A light ivory or warm cream mat enhances the colors without overpowering the scene. Dark walnut or cherry wood frames also work exceptionally well for church, rectory, or classic interior settings.
