German Baroque Secretary with Mirror and Silver Plated Fittings from 1730/35
About the Item
Two-piece baroque secretary with mirrored doors, exceptional original silvered fittings with numerous princely crowns, walnut saw veneer on softwood, Thuringia circa 1730/35. This secretary comes from princely property, was made in very high craftsmanship and is in an impeccably restored condition.
In addition to the mirrored glass, the elaborate front of the top is adorned with three pilasters, the shaft of which is framed by double fillet bands and features a walnut field in the center. The profiled bases are cast in silver-plated brass. The three capitals are elaborate silvered castings with leaves and volutes. Under the doors, two delicate shelves with walnut fronts can be pulled out on fine silver-plated knobs. The knobs are the same model as the small drawers in the single-door. Pulling out the shelves reveals a framed area of oak. The framing is multi-profiled, very finely worked and mitered. The trays were probably intended for candlesticks. The light from the candles is clearly enhanced by the mirrors. At that time, this effect was also used for wall blinds.
The carcass sides of the entire piece of furniture are identical in design. The base shows mirrored fields with a cross-veneered framing. In the case of the top, the field is mirrored four times in the form of a cross joint and is also bordered by a cross-veneered framing. On both sides of the base and the top are strong, silver-plated handles, with a splendidly designed base plate of chased, silver-plated brass sheet. Here again we encounter the princely crown. On the original back panel is a handwritten note in chalk: "Salon der Durchl. Fürstin von der Lippe". Princess Emilie Friederike Charlotte von der Lippe, née von Schwarzburg- Sondershausen born 23.04.1801 in Sondershausen, died 2.04.1867 in Detmold wife of Prince Leopold II von der Lippe.

The Paris based company "E. Kahn & Cie" specialized in high quality reproduction of 18th century furniture. They copied furniture from the French ebenists such as Riesener, Oeben, Weisweiler, Stöckl, Cressent and Benneman, which were reproduced 1:1 or partly slightly modified, with high quality. The model for this chest of drawers was a pair of royal chests of drawers designed by J. STÖCKL (Joseph Stöckel, master 1775) and completed by G. BENNEMAN (Guillaume Bennemann, master 1785). In 1786 the pair of chests of drawers was delivered to Marie Antoinette's gambling salon (Salon des Jeux) at Fontainebleau castle. Currently it is in the collection of the Louvre in Paris (Commode 1, Commode 2). The commode type in the form of a sideboard with additional drawers behind the doors is also called commode à vantaux. Especially this commode is also called Marie Antoinette commode.Category
