- Lot Description
Upholstered in leather, with removeable legs made for travel, with a paper shipping or warehouse label, '172188, Lavancy, S.A., Lausanne'.
33 x 25 x 24 1/2 in., height of seat 16 in.
Note: David Roentgen's name resonated as a maker of highly accomplished and inventive furniture whose clients included Catherine the Great and Louis XVI. Roentgen produced such chairs, similarly neatly constructed, and often will show veneer on the back (W. Koeppe, Extravagant Inventions: The Princely Furniture of the Roentgens, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 2012, no. 47, pp. 168-169). The distinctive disk mount appears on other Roentgen furniture including an oval table at Chatsworth from 1783-4 and a child's architect table delivered to Catherine the Great in 1793 in the State Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg (W. Koeppe, op. cit., nos. 43 and 48); the removable legs are also characteristic of the maker 9no. 19).
Few recognized Roentgen chairs have been identified today despite the maker's advertising 'fauteuils de cabinet' within his Paris stock in 1781 (D. Fabian, Abraham and David Roentgen..., 1996, p. 358).
A 2 in. veneer loss on the top rail with smaller losses on the downcurved sides with minor replacements. Minor patches on the apron. Scuffing to the legs. Structurally sound, leather in good condition. Beautifully constructed.Not withstanding this report or any discussion concerning condition of a lot, all lots are offered and sold "as is" in accordance with our conditions of sale.Condition
