AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Austrian Leopold Order – order group with breast star and cross – Sándor Zeidler, Budapest – in a case
Elaborately crafted order set according to the Austrian Imperial Leopold Order, consisting of a large breast star and the accompanying order decoration, together in a matching presentation case.
The historic Leopold Order was established in 1808 by Emperor Francis I of Austria and belonged to the most significant orders of merit of the Austrian monarchy. The insignia presented here adopt the classic design of the order.
The large, multi-ray breast star bears in the center the characteristic red enameled cross with a white border. In the middle medallion is the monogram “FIA” (Franciscus Imperator Austriae), surrounded by the order’s motto “INTEGRITATI ET MERITO.”
The ensemble also includes the corresponding order decoration with red and white enamel work.
Particularly interesting is the marking inside the case referring to Sándor Zeidler, Budapest. Zeidler is known as a Hungarian expert and designer in the field of orders and honors. Due to this marking, the offered ensemble is to be classified as a later collector’s piece or reproduction based on the historical model of the imperial Leopold Order, and is explicitly not offered as a dispensed original from the era of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy.
The detailed execution of the breast star, the enamel work, and the accompanying case make the ensemble a decorative object for collectors of phaleristics, Austrian history, and the Habsburg era.
Condition is overall good to very good. The insignia show slight age- and storage-related traces. The case also shows signs of use. The enamel and central decorations appear well preserved in the provided photos.
Contents: breast star, order cross/decoration, and matching case.
The numerous close-up photos are part of the condition description and show construction, marking, and the state of preservation.
Classification: Austria / Austrian Leopold Order after historical model
Design/Marking: Sándor Zeidler, Budapest
Finish: later collector’s piece / reproduction
Material: metal, partly enamelled
Contents: 2 order insignia and case
