Discover the regal magnificence of the Crown of the Emperor of Austria, a stunning piece with a rich history dating back to the reign of Rudolf II. Commissioned in 1602 by Rudolf II, this crown was meticulously crafted by the Court Goldsmith in Prague, embodying the exquisite artistry of the time.
Originally known as the Crown of Rudolf II, it later became associated with the Holy Roman Empire's demise in 1806, earning its new name as the Crown of the Emperor of Austria. Set with radiant diamonds, rubies, and pearls, surrounded by enamelled bands and intricate settings, this majestic crown takes the form of a "Mitre." Its awe-inspiring design includes four relief panels depicting the three coronations of Rudolf II, while the fourth panel commemorates his victorious triumph over the Turks.
Preserved with utmost care, the Crown of the Emperor of Austria finds its home at the Schatzkammer Museum in Vienna, where its resplendent beauty continues to captivate visitors from around the world.
Our miniature recreation of this iconic crown captures the essence of its grandeur. Cast in fine English pewter and plated to perfection, it shines with regal allure. Adorned with exquisite bohemian crystals, it echoes the brilliance of the original masterpiece.
Enclosed within a presentation box, this miniature crown invites you to appreciate the remarkable craftsmanship and historical significance it represents. Whether you're a collector of royal memorabilia or a lover of intricate artistry, this miniature recreation is sure to become a cherished addition to your collection.
Experience the splendour of the Crown of the Emperor of Austria and let its timeless beauty transport you to a bygone era of imperial majesty.
