Jaroslav and Franta Anýžovi

That the apple does not fall far from the tree is proven by the success of the Anýž family even twice. Franta Anýž was originally a renowned medallist and chandler whose work included designing and manufacturing jewellery and other applied objects. Thanks to his precision and diligence, in 1910 he opened a factory in Holešovice, Prague, which specialized in the processing of art objects made of metal. Franta Anýž was a member of the Mánes Society of Artists, which undoubtedly provided him with a good supply of contacts and commissions. The factory soon gained fame, thanks to which many of our leading artists and architects commissioned Anýž to realise their designs.
