Thank you for your answers, John & John! I am myself all for reading the mag itself. But it simply is not available where I live, and I’m sure that many readers here face the same dilemma (apart from the language barrier).
--Previous Message-- : I suppose hypothetically Begeer could have : remodelled an older tiara from the : collection, one that once belonged to Queen : Sophie. Yes. We simply do not know, yet. But : the news that the tiara in it's present : shape seems to have been made by Begeer is : truly a new find, worth some exitement and : it confirms the doubts over the provenance : (maker) of at least one tiara always : attributed to Jeweller Schurmann in : Frankfurt. : : : --Previous Message-- : Sorry, folks, but as I have no access to : article in VORSTEN, this discussion is : confusing me. : Do I understand correctly, that the author : of the article dicovered the b/w pic of the : tiara in the Royal Begeers archives? But do : the archive also confirm that it is from the : year 1897? If I understood the discussion : correctly, there is only the photo and no : accompanying documentation from the : archives. So that could mean that Begeers : either made the tiara completely new, or : they altered an existing tiara (eg. from : Queen Sophie), couldn’t it? : Could anyone please enlighten me? Thanks in : advance! : : : :
