ESTATE FRESH!
1894 Dedication Ribbon Badge from Henry Baerer Ludwig Van Beethoved Statue in Prospect Park NYC!
I have been collecting/dealing in Antiques and Collectibles for well over 45 years. Most of the treasures that I acquire are direct from estates or houses. Over the time that I have been been doing this I have ended up setting aside items that were either of specific interest to me or that I felt were especially "unique and eclectic". This has ended up with my having a rather extensive "personal" collection. I am now at a point in my life that I have to limit this addiction and in fact actually downsize my "collection(s)!" I suggest that you consider adding me to your list of sellers that you follow as I will be offering many "decommissioned" treasures as well as the extensive new acquisitions that I continue to pursue in my semi-retirement!
He was one of my "heroes" in my youth. Unlike most of my generation, I also liked and listened to classical music, and I even played the violin! Ludwig Van Beethoven (1770-1827) was born in Bonn, Germany. Demonstrating early musical talent as a pianist he studied with a succession of instructors starting with his father, who was a singer in the electoral choir. Some of his other instructors included Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) and Franz Joseph Haydin (1732-1809) Making his public piano debut in 1800, his growing deafness curtailed future public performances. Beethoven's hearing disability did not undermine his prodigious talent as a composer, establishing him to be recognized as a genius in virtually all musical forms with his Fifth Symphony (1805-1807) and his Ninth Symphony (1817-1823) becoming becoming classical standards!
This rather rare ribbon badge is from the
October 20, 1894 dedication of German-American sculptor Henry Baerer (1837-1908) statue in Prospect Park Concert Grove, Brooklyn, New York. It is approximately 2¼" wide at the top banner x 5½" long. Designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux in 1866, the original plan for Prospect Park designed this area of the park as a "concourse for Pedestrians" and "Music Stand." In 1870, they elaborated this to accommodate musical performances, noting that, "promenade concerts are common in many European pleasure grounds.
The ribbon badge in good to very good condition.
