Catalogue Note
Countess Octavia Rzyszczewska-Radziwill (born 1907), daughter of Count Antoni Rzyszczewska and Ernestine Dentler, married Count Ettore Manzolini di Campoleone.
The firm, established in 1864 by Vincenz Czokally, was passed to Anton Czokally in 1890. He was joined circa 1892 by Carl Würbel and the business was renamed Würbel & Czokally. It is thought that Anton Czokally retired from the business in 1900. Following the death of Carl Würbel in 1913 the business passed to Josef Würbel. The company was in production until 1927.
Würbel & Czokally, along with Alexander Sturm, executed the designs of Josef Hoffmann prior to him becomi♛ng involved with the Wiener Werkstätte.
