Note du spécialiste

This chair and stool (lots 1 and 2) are both covered in 18th-century Russian reindeer hide from the Danish ship ‘Die Fraumetta Catharine von Flensburg’, the Metta Catharina which sank off the coast of Plymouth on 10 December 1786. The cargo of leather and hemp, bound for Genoa from St. Petersburg was discovered in 1973.
