Christa Ehrlich voor Zilverfabriek Voorschoten

Description: a handsome rice spoon, executed in the well-known model 1064 by Christa Ehrlich. Christa Ehrlich was originally an Austrian designer who from 1922 to 1925 trained at the Vienna Kunstgewerbeschule of Josef Hoffmann. For the important international exhibition Europäisches Kunstgewerbe in Leipzig (1927) she established the Austrian section there. There she met Carel Begeer (1883–1956), director of the Royal Dutch Edelmetaal Bedrijven (KNEB), who invited her to design modern silver objects for use at the Voorschoten factory. Her designs proved very successful and are still praised and regarded as exemplary of the so-called ‘constructive’ or ‘modernist’ style that was fashionable in the 1920s. She had a penchant for sparsely decorated products with clear, preferably geometric main shapes. Christa Ehrlich remained with the silver factory until her retirement.
