I have a silver tray with usual Austrian mark, Vienna mark and Eduard Friedman "urnlike" mark and also the words "Paar es Wolfers Freres" Wondering if anyone has information on the Wolfers Freres connection.
Thanks Ronnie

Re: Wolfers Freres
hello
i found this:
,,The Family Wolfers, as designers and silversmiths, has its roots in a dynasty of silversmiths and jewelers of German and Dutch origins. They enjoyed a deserved European reputation and are still internationally praised''
.,,Beginning in 1885, they formed a society known as ‘Louis Wolfers Père et Fils’ and later in 1892 as ‘Wolfers Frères’ (the latter with the workshop’s mark, ‘Three stars in a triangle’-- a Masonic symbol, which was in use until 1942). Philippe was a member of the Masonic Lodge and the meaning of the three stars is ‘Work, Honor and Family.’ ''
,,,The firm and factory Wolfers Frères worked in collaboration and developed associations with other jewelers or retailers, such as ‘Emile Anthony’ in Antwerp, Belgium; ‘Fernand Hardy, Liège, Belgium; A. Bourdon, Gent, Belgium ; ‘Krischer’ in Düsseldorf, Germany; ‘Ferenc Paar,’ Budapest, Hungary; ‘Aublanc,’ and later ‘Jean Desmarès,’ Paris, France; Wolfers Frères in Amsterdam.''
