Biography of the Friedrich Siegfried Goldscheider factory (1845-1897)
Friedrich Siegfried Goldscheider was an Austro-Hungarian art publisher. He took over in Bohemia near Pilsen the factory of ceramic products from his father, which went bankrupt in 1874. Friedrich then moved to Vienna, and opened a porcelain store there, then created in 1885 the "Manufacture of porcelain and factory of majolica Goldscheider". The factory then manufactures earthenware tableware as well as luxury porcelain items. But it is above all his polychrome terracotta art sculptures that make his reputation, thanks to the realism of the subjects with their natural polychromy and of which the East then appears as one of the major themes.
His success growing and with the help of his children, Friedrich Goldscheider founded companies in Austria, Germany, in Paris from 1892, in England and as far as the United States. In Paris, the branch located on avenue de l'Opéra was run by his son Arthur from 1900.
