These fauteuils all bear the labels of the Karlsruhe Schloss inventory of 1859 and two additional Karlsruhe inventory labels, probably both from the 1880's, as well as a twentieth century label.
They were supplied to Markgraf Carl Friedrich (1728-1811) during the redecoration of the Karlsruhe Schloss carried out in the second half of the 18th century. The fauteuils formed part of the decoration of the Thronsaal. At least part of this set was still installed in the Marmorsaal of the schloss in 1900, as the photograph shows.
KARLSRUHE SCHLOSS
The construction of the city of Karlsruhe was only begun in 1715. Markgraf Carl Wilhelm von Baden-Durlach (1679-1738), following the precedent set by Louis XIV at Versailles, designed the plan of the city radiating outwards from his Schloss. The Schloss, which was at the center of the city, was built by Johann Heinrich Schwartz and Friedrich von Batzenberg. Carl Wilhelm's grandson, Carl Friedrich and his wife Prinzessin Karoline Luise von Hessen-Darmstadt (1723-1783) appointed the architect Friedrich von Kesslau, a pupil of La Guépière, in 1752 to reconstruct the castle. The interiors were also redecorated in the neoclassical style. In the 19th century, some of the rooms were again redecorated in the neo-rococo style. Schloss Karlsruhe served as the residence of the Margraves of Baden-Durlach and the Grand Dukes of Baden until 1918. Since the abdication of Friedrich II, the castle has served as the Badische Landesmuseum and, after its destruction during World War II, was rebuilt.
