Johannes Klinckerfuss was one of the most important German cabinet makers of the early 19th century who was known for his exceptional craftsmanship. He was recommended by Roentgen to the Bayreuther Hof of Herzog Friedrich Eugen von Württemberg, where he was in charge of the furnishing of Schloss Fantaisie. In 1795 Klinckerfuss worked in the herzogliche Kabinettschreinerei for the Stuttgarter Hof, where he became cabinet-ebeniste for Duke Frederick II of Württemberg, later the first king of Württemberg. In 1812 Klinckerfuss opened his own workshop in Stuttgart, where he made numerous important pieces in the Empire style. Many of these still remain in the Schlosses, including Weil (near Esslingen), Ludwigsburg, and Rosenstein.

French Japonisme Ormolu-Mounted Baccarat Crystal Vase with Bronze Turtle Feet
By Cristalleries De Baccarat
Located in New York, NY
A Gorgeous and extremely rare French Japonisme ormolu-mounted turtle footed Baccarat crystal vase designed with a gilt turtle design, Baccarat stamp on bottom. The quality and craftsmanship of this piece is second to none. Baccarat crystal is known to be the best crystal in the world and this piece appropriately demonstrates that. The crystal vase is seated on four beautifully cast and hand-chiseled ormolu turtles, representing the Japanese artistic movement in France at the time, known as 'Japonisme'. The body of the vase is a gorgeously hand painted with raised gold and enamel decoration of a turtle and various other decorations, making it seem as though the turtle is swimming in a lake. Underneath the turtle are painted rocks and mosses, while above the turtle are cherry trees, dropping their fruit into the water. On the reverse of the main panel are two turtles swimming...
