拍品专文

This pair of armchairs is comparable to a design by Leo von Klenze (1784-1864) executed for the Dining-Room of the Königsbau in Münich in 1834-35. The carved uprights terminating in a volute, just above the seatrail and the carved sides of the uprights are features Von Klenze used in his designs for seat-furniture.
Von Klenze was the court-architect of Louis I of Bavaria, for whom he built the Königsbau. Von Klenze also was the interior-designer for the Royal Appartments of this Neocassical building. B.
