G.A.Scheid has been producing high-quality silver and gold jewelry as well as luxury items for over 50 years with around 300 employees in his factory at Gumpendorferstraße 85 in Vienna, which have been exported all over Europe. Sales outlets were in Vienna, Budapest, Paris, St.Petersburg and Istanbul.

Georg Adam Scheid held a dominant position in the luxury goods market of the monarchy, with a very high export share to England, America, Russia and the Ottoman Empire. As such, pieces of jewelry were not signed by the artists, particularly Auchentaller expressly did not want this, as is evident from the letters to his father-in-law.

Cloisonné, also called cell melting or cell enamel, is an artisan technique for enamel work. For production, thin wires or metal strips are soldered onto a carrier plate, which is usually made of silver, and differently colored glass flows are inserted between them.
