- Lot Description
Ludwig Huemer Hand-Hammered Sterling Silver Two-Handled Tray c1920s. Huemer worked for Hirsch Co. and Tiffany Studios. Signed. Excellent condition. 17w x 9.25.
Ludwig Huemer was born on March 7, 1882 in Vienna, the son of Franz Huemer and Hannah Habinger, and presumably trained there as a silversmith. He first arrived in the United States on January 16, 1901, and was engaged with Towle Silversmiths in Newburyport, Massachusetts, before returning briefly to Austria. He came back to the United States in November 1905, and by 1908 was working in San Francisco. He was betrothed there to Gertrude L. Warnecke in December 1909, but his marriage was not to be; evidently after another visit to Vienna in 1910 he settled permanently in Newark, New Jersey, and ship's passenger records show the arrival in New York in August 1911 of Josephine Zamzal (1890-1931) of Austria, the fiancee of Frank Huemer. The couple were married on September 5, 1911 in Manhattan.
Huemer was working for Tiffany & Co. by 1917, and maintained a relationship with them for the rest of his life. He is better remembered, though, for his long association with the M. Fred Hirsch (later Fisher) Silver Company of Jersey City, New Jersey, of which he was superintendent. His work included interpretations of popular patterns, including a pastiche of Tiffany's rare "Indian" pattern, and his exceptional designs in Danish Modern taste.
He had three children (his daughter Frances E. Huemer [1921-2014], was a noted Rubens expert at the University of North Carolina) and he married two more times after the death of their mother in 1931: secondly in 1936 to Marie Rose O'Conner (1894-1969) and lastly in 1971 to the woman to whom he had been betrothed in San Francisco sixty-two years earlier, Gertrude Loretta Warnecke (1889-1983), then Mrs. Joseph S. Hutton. He died on March 3, 1972 in Newark and is buried in Hilltop Cemetery in Mendham, Morris county, New Jersey.
