Specialist note

The goldsmith Carl Blank served as Hahn’s head workmaster from 1882 to 1909, establishing his own workshop in 1894. From 1909 to 1911, he worked in partnership with Hahn until the firm closed. Blank then founded his own entirely independent business and continued supplying objects to the Cabinet.
