Silver notepad holder with dedication engraving by Irene and Heinrich of Prussia
Rare souvenir from the circle of the House of Prussia
Elegant silver notepad holder with the German silver hallmark crescent moon and crown. The maker's mark is present but not clearly legible. The simple yet prestigious design is characteristic of the high-quality desk accessories used in aristocratic and courtly households in the early 20th century.
The engraved dedication is particularly noteworthy:
"In fond remembrance"
Below it are the personal signatures of Princess Irene of Prussia and Prince Heinrich of Prussia, as well as the dates:
November 1896 – November 1916
With matching silver pen
The set includes a high-quality 925 silver pen with English hallmarks and the inscription "Made in England." The pen complements the notepad holder perfectly and underscores the prestigious character of this rare desk object.
Condition and dimensions
The notepad holder is in excellent condition.
Dimensions of the notepad holder: 13 × 6.5 cm
Length of the silver pen: 13 cm
Provenance
Significant provenance from the collection of Professor Carl Paira (1879–1945), the long-time tutor of Prince Waldemar of Prussia in Kiel, son of Prince Heinrich of Prussia and Princess Irene of Hesse and by Rhine. This direct connection to the Prussian royal family underscores the historical and collectible significance of the object.
Carl Paira (born May 2, 1873, in Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines; died 1945, in Dresden) was a German theologian. He studied in Strasbourg from 1892 to 1896. After his work in Kiel, he served as a pastor in Dresden and in Jena from 1920 to 1922.
Historical desk culture of the House of Prussia
Personally signed objects by Irene of Prussia and Prince Heinrich of Prussia, brother of Emperor Wilhelm II, are rarely found on the market. The combination of the original dedication engraving, verifiable provenance from the circle of the Prussian royal family, and its use as a prestigious desk object makes this piece an exceptional collectible of Prussian memorabilia, the Imperial era, and the German high nobility.
