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).

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...
