About the Item

Wonderful Set of Six early Biedermeier, late Empire Dining Room Chairs from Southern Germany around 1820. Made of cherry solid wood and elaborately hand-polished with shellac (French Polish). Very special are the golden ornament faces, which are carved-out of side of the backrests. On the front, these have profiles of faces that have been plated with gold. From the back, you only see the profile curved out of the cherry solid wood plate. At the bottom of the crossbar, there is a gold-plated curved decor, which has also been carved out of the wood, too. The upholstery is done newly after old methods. For the fabric a plain, precious black felt with double keder has been chosen.

Set of 8 Partially Early 19th German Biedermeier Saxe-Coburg Provenance Chairs
Located in Berlin, DE
Set of 8 partially Early 19th German Biedermeier Saxe-Coburg provenance chairs: 3 chairs with inventory stamp of Ehrenburg Palace in Coburg (soth Germany)/House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, 5 chairs hand-crafted after their model in the late 20th century: a trapezoidal seat on four slender saber-shaped legs; curved, shovel-shaped back with carved and ebonized central motif depicting a lyre. All chairs upholstered with black horsehair fabric. 3 chairs of the set of 8 show the inventory stamp of the famous Ehrenburg Palace in Coburg / South Germany and are documented in the Ehrenburg inventory register. According to a letter from the Bayerische Verwaltung der Staatlichen Schlösser, Gärten und Seen, Munich from 1991, the chairs were sold or disposed of in the 1920s at the latest (see photo). In order to be able to use the chairs in a dining room, the former owner had added five more chairs in the late 20th century, which had been elaborately hand-crafted after the model of the three Ehrenburg Palace chairs by a German furniture maker. Ehrenburg Palace was built and used by the Dukes of Saxe-Coburg (and Gotha from 1826 on) as a representative town residence. Duke Ernst I (reigned 1806–1844) began to remodel Ehrenburg Palace only a few years after he came to power. It was then that the building acquired its impressive neo-Gothic façade, designed by the architect Karl Friedrich von Schinkel. For the furnishing of the rooms, Duke Ernst I commissioned the French architect André-Marie Renié-Grétry. Between 1816 and 1840 the apartments were renovated in the French Empire style on the basis of his designs and filled with magnificent furniture...
