專家說明

This suite of 'Boulle' furniture (lots 45-48) adorned the apartments of the Grand Duke Frederick I of Baden (1826-1907) and his consort Princess Louise of Prussia (1838-1923) at the Karlsruhe Palace, Germany. It is likely to have been commissioned as part of refurbishments occasioned by Frederick's accession to the the dukedom and his marriage to Princess Louise in 1856. The meubles d'appui (lot 45) are shown in a photograph of the so-called 'Family Room' at the Karlsruhe Palace circa 1900. The suite was possibly removed from Karlsruhe when Princess Louise retired to Baden-Baden after 1918 and was subsequently sold at auction at Neues Schloss in 1995.
