The Liebig Testimonial, 1854: A Tribute to British Artistic Design and Family Legacy This photograph print captures a significant moment in 19th century British industrial history, showcasing The Liebig Testimonial, a set of five decorative pieces presented to the esteemed chemist, Baron Justus Freiherr von Liebig. The collection, consisting of a Warwick Vase, two candelabra, and two claret or beer-jugs, was manufactured by Messrs. Hunt and Roskell. The set gained widespread admiration at the Industrial Exhibition in Munich and was purchased for presentation to Baron Liebig, who expressed a wish for his five children to inherit a portion of the plate. The Warwick Vase, with its elegant design and intricate decoration, serves as the centerpiece, while the candelabra and jugs add functional beauty to the collection. This fine specimen of British artistic design, as described in the Illustrated London News in 1854, represents the pinnacle of craftsmanship and the fusion of art and industry during the Victorian era. The Hunt and Roskell company, renowned for its metalwork and homeware, showcased their expertise in creating this exquisite set, which continues to attract the highest admiration for its timeless appeal and historical significance.
