Catalogue Note
Anton Oberhauser became silversmith in 1792 and in 1803 he was awarded a privilege for his engine-turning machine. The same year he and his son Matthaus were authorised, 'for the production of silver plated buckles', then extended in 1814 to the production 'of all gold and silver fancy goods'. Anton's other son, Anton Ferdinand, joined the company and after his father's death in 1829, took over the company until 1849.
