HISTORY: Hanau companies have caused a lot of confusion amongst collectors, art historians and dealers of silverware. What follows is meant to shed some light on the history of this segment of Hanau production and to provide some information on how to tell Hanau reproductions from genuine antique pieces.That history is for the longest part not different from what happened in other German cities at the time. Goldsmiths and silversmiths were often wealthy and, consequently, tax payers of high interest to the local authorities. The Hanau city father's, seeking to increase the town's economic base, lured Masters from other parts of Germany and from other European countries, most notably from the Netherlands (since the end of the 16th century) and from France (after 1685) and a whole new city was erected since 1597 to house them: "Neu-Hanau" (New Hanau). The French continued to work in their traditional style, which made the pieces exportable to France and all countries that preferred the French style. According to Hegemann, it seems that many of these pieces were not marked with the Hanau city mark, but with a mark that resembled that of Paris, much to the dismay of French makers and authorities. It also seems that Hanau makers cared little about the local hallmarking regulations, using silver of a fineness below the legal standard of 12 Lot (equals 750/1000 fine) and selling the pieces as "French". There is some indication that even back then they also imitated foreign hallmarks, though nothing definite is known today about this. The years 1600-1800 economically brought a lot of ups and downs (mostly downs) to the industry and it was not until the first decades of the 19th century that the Hanau silverware industry began to flourish again.
