Lot Essay

Johannes Klinckerfuss was one of the most important German cabinet makers of the early 19th century who was known for his exceptional craftsmanship. He was recommended by Roentgen to the Bayreuther Hof of Herzog Friedrich Eugen von Württemberg, where he was in charge of the furnishing of Schloss Fantaisie. In 1795 Klinckerfuss worked in the herzogliche Kabinettschreinerei for the Stuttgarter Hof, where he became cabinet-ebeniste for Duke Frederick II of Württemberg, later the first king of Württemberg. In 1812 Klinckerfuss opened his own workshop in Stuttgart, where he made numerous important pieces in the Empire style. Many of these still remain in the Schlosses, including Weil (near Esslingen), Ludwigsburg, and Rosenstein.
This jardinière with its vase-shaped shaft recalls an occasional table by Klinckerfuss in Schloss Rosenstein, similar to Klinckerfuss's model M198, while the base is nearly identical to model M252, as outlined in W. Wiese Johannes Klinckerfuss (Sigmaringen, 1988), ill. TA23.
