Um die Platte umlaufende Messingkehle. Alle restlichen Sichtflächen dekoriert mit gerahmten Rautenparkett bzw. innen mit großen Quadraten.

H 77,5, B 170, T 72 cm.Um 1880 - 90.Frau Dr. Henriette Graf, Kustodin der Stiftung Preußische Schlösser und Gärten, fand das Möbel mit folgender Beschreibung im Inventar des Neuen Palais Potsdam: "20. Palisander and walnut over softwood, ormolu and brass mountings and (replaced) brown leather writing surface. Of slightly serpentine design resting on eight bracket feet. Two side compartments with two drawers each, one large central draw above the knee hole beneath an extendable writing surface. The back closed, the sides with horizontal veneer. The top surrounded by a brass moulding. All outer faces decorated with rhombus marquetry and large squares on the inside. All angles and the base accentuated by ormolu rocaille scrolls. With a label on the reverse, typewritten and inscribed in ink “Schloß N.P. Zimmer No. 12 Lfde. No. 40.” Older repairs to the brass mouldings, minor replacements to the marquetry. H 77.5, W 170, D 72 cm.C. 1880 - 90.Dr. Henriette Graf, curator of the Foundation of Prussian Palaces and Gardens, discovered this piece in the inventory of the Neues Palais in Potsdam accompanied by the following description: "20. desk of palisander, partly veneered with upturned rectangles, Oct. 25 to the Gen. Richly decorated with bronze mouldings, fittings and handles, 4 drawers at the bottom on each side, 1 drawer in the middle and a pull-out panel covered with red cloth. 0.77 m high, 1.70 m wide, 0.72 deep. On top of it an attachment with 14 drawers, in the middle a two-door cabinet with 20 small drawers, 0.46 m high, 1.65 wide, 0.36 deep." (SPSG, Hist. inv. 719, Inventory Neues Palais 1895, p. 70, p. 135). As can be seen from the inventory, the piece was formerly fitted with an attachment with 20 small drawers that served as storage. The previous position of this attachment can still be seen in the marquetry on the top, but it is now lost. In addition to the Berlin Palace, Emperor Wilhelm II chose the New Palace in Potsdam as his preferred residence after taking office. The rooms in both palaces were furnished conservatively, as the Emperor liked to draw inspiration from the Rococo style preferred during the time of his most prominent predecessor, King Frederick II the Great. Many of the empire's small furniture manufacturers had to deliver to the court to meet the increased spatial and representational requirements of the imperial period. The demands on the pieces were high; in addition to good workmanship, they had to provide meaningful functionality despite their imposing appearance. According to Dr. Jörg Meiner, Staatliche Schlösser, Gärten und Kunstsammlungen Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (State Palaces, Gardens and Art Collections Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania), no workshop has yet been identified that could have been responsible for the execution of this desk. After almost 150 years and several changes of ownership following 1918, the piece is still in exceptionally good condition, which speaks for an origin in one of the leading German manufactories of the era.ProvenancePotsdam, Neues Palais. From a Berlin collection, auctioned by Leo Spik Berlin on 7th December 1999, lot 1585. Private ownership, Berlin.

H 3,4, D 18 cm.Berlin, KPM, um 1817/18.Das zentrale Wappen wurde später ausschließlich für die Speiseteller und Bratenschüsseln aus dem Wellington-Service verwendet, gerahmt von einem Lorbeer- und Eichenkranz mit gelben Bändern auf zart rosafarbenem Fond. Die ausgelieferten Salatschüsseln ziert hingegen ein zentrales Helmmotiv. Das Wappen wurde von der Umrisszeichnung übertragen auf das Porzellan.

H 3.4, D 18 cm.C. 1817/18.The central coat-of-arms used on this trial proof was eventually only used for the dinner plates and roasting dishes in the Wellington service, where it was surrounded by a wreath of oak and laurel branches tied with yellow ribbons on a pale pink ground. The salad bowls in the final service were decorated instead with a helmet motif in the centre. The coat-of-arms was copied onto the porcelain using an outline drawing, an example of which is published by Winfried and Ilse Baer in their catalogue of the contents of Apsley House (p. 22, fig. 13).ProvenanceCollection of Renate and Tono Dreßen.LiteratureFor the final version of the salad bowls cf.: Baer/Baer, Das Tafelservice der KPM für den Herzog von Wellington, Berlin 1988, p. 100, no. 81.
