Araub in Wien”) above an ormolu on marble appliqué of Austrian Warrior and Diplomat Karl Philipp (flanked with conforming marble columns surrounding a mirrored and polychrome aedicaule) Phillipp became Prince of Schwarzenberg and was a legendary Austrian hero of the Hapsburg cavalry during the Napoleonic Wars, serving directly under Archduke Ferdinand. He received the Commander’s Cross of the Order of Maria Theresa and in 1809 was awarded the Order of the Golden Fleece, the Grand Crosses of the Order of Maria Theresa, an estate including multiple palaces, lodges and castles, and the position of President of the Hofkriegsrath.
