Live Auction

39" (99 cm.) w. x 20"h. x 21"d. A grand-sized wooden-framed room with strong well-carved columns at the front sides,and a painted marbleized floor. The painted walls are decorated with two framed panels on each side wall,having delicately-painted floral or nature scenes on each,and a gilded crest. The panels are above a border of wainscoting that extends around the entire room and which is also decorated with smaller panels,each having painted scene. Against the back wall are two faux-doors with still further painted framed panels,and each surmounted by a richly carved pediment. Exceptional original furnishings which match the wall decoration include a pair of small credenza shelves,an easel with framed painting of aristocratic lady,and a pair of small mirrors that flank a grand three-part framed mirror which,in turn,is hung above an exceptional credenza table in the Louis XVI manner. A porcelain tea service rests on the credenza along with a candelabra,and a delicate glass-bead chandelier hangs above. Excellent condition throughout,the exceptional room in slightly larger scale would be suitable for exhibition of small poupees. Mid/late 19th century. Provenance: from the celebrated Bodmer Collection from which it was acquired by the Landsberg Puppenhausen Museum,and later joined the collection of Hanne Buktas.
