In 1885, Friedrich Goldscheider founded the Goldscheider Manufactory which became one of the most influential manufacturers of ceramics for terracotta, faience and bronze objects in Austria with subsidiaries in Paris, Leipzig and Florence. For over half a century Goldscheider created masterpieces of Art Nouveau and Art Deco. Renowned artists such as Josef Lorenzl Stefan Dakon, Ida Meisinger, Michael Powolny and Vally Wieselthier worked for Goldscheider. The Goldscheider family emigrated in 1938 to the United Kingdom and the United States. Walter Goldscheider founded a new factory in Trenton (New Jersey) and then returned to Vienna in 1950. Marcel Goldscheider opened his own studio in 1950 in Hanley. The two brothers died in the early 1960s. Over 10,000 different models were created over a period of three generations. From the beginning, many of these models have won gold medals at international expositions. The sculptures of the factory GOLDSCHEIDER are now highly sought after by collectors around the world and achieve amazing auction prices in auction houses such as Sotheby like Christie or Drouot.
