A CERAMIC AND MOTHER-OF-PEARL INLAID LACQUERED KIRI (PAULOWNIA) WOOD CABINET IN THE STYLE OF RITSUOIn the style of Ogawa Haritsu (Ritsuo, 1663-1747), unsignedJapan, 18th-19th century, Edo period (1615-1868)Of rectangular form with red-lacquered borders, the wood ground finely decorated in gold takamaki-e and inlays of ceramic and mother-of-pearl with blossoming flowers and neatly veined leaves, one side with six narrow drawers fitted with metal floral handles, the base of roiro.SIZE 31 x 22.6 x 18.8 cmCondition: Good condition with expected surface wear, nicks, chips, scratches, some inlays with minor cracks and small losses.Provenance: German private collection.Ogawa Haritsu (formerly often referred to outside Japan by his alternative name of Ritsuo) was among the first Japanese lacquer artists to establish an independent reputation outside of the hereditary craft dynasties of Kyoto, Edo, and Kanazawa. Following an early career as a haiku poet, he is thought to have first turned his attention to lacquer design in middle age and soon attracted a wide following thanks to his novel choice of subject matter and pioneering and imaginative use of unusual materials; at some point after 1710 he was hired by Tsugaru Nobuhisa (1669-1747), lord of a domain in northern Japan, for whom he worked until 1731.In lacquer, he introduced a vocabulary of new materials not usually associated with lacquer artists such as glazed ceramic pieces, mother-of-pearl, and lead. Haritsu also mastered the technique of making lacquer surfaces appear to resemble other materials such as bronze, tile, ink sticks, and pottery, a style of decoration which became known as Haritsu saiku.

A group of 19th & 20th Century letters and documents relating to family descendants of the German composer and pianist Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827), items including manuscript document dated 6th June 1860, naming Caroline Beethoven, Maria Weidinger, Caroline Weidinger etc, 4 double sided sheets of manuscript with wax seal, the Caroline Beethoven in question presumably Karoline Johanna Weidinger (van Beethoven)(1831-1919), daughter of Karl van Beethoven (1806-1858), Beethoven the composer's nephew, and his wife Caroline Barbara van Beethoven (née Naske)(1808-1891); some 19th Century manuscript van Beethoven family trees/genealogical tables; manuscript correspondence appears to possibly be to/from Ludwig van Beethoven (i.e. Ludwig Johann van Beethoven (abt. 1839 - bef. 1916)); a 19th Century cabinet card photograph depicting a plaque of Ludwig van Beethoven (composer), inscribed verso, appears to be inscribed to Raoul, i.e. Raoul Emil Weidinger (1884-1924), great grandson of Karl van Beethoven, Beethoven the Composer's nephew and heir; two other 19th Century Cartes de Visite by Vienna photographers; other letters and m/s documents with Vienna addressed headed paper, etc etc; plus other 20th Century documents relating to Beethoven Heimler branch of family including Third Reich/Nazi period documents etc. Ludwig van Beethoven never got married and did not have children, in his family seven children were born, but only three survived childhood: Ludwig, Kaspar and Nikolaus. From the three brothers only Kaspar had children, a son named Karl. After the death of Kaspar in 1815, Beethoven sought legal action against the mother of Karl, wanting sole custody of the boy. He regarded Johanna (the mother) not suitable for custody. As his brother in his last will appointed both of them as co-guardians, the bitter legal battle lasted for years. He finally won, but irreparable emotional damage had been done to the boy, who later in his life committed an unsuccessful suicide. Kaspar died in 1815, Ludwig in 1827 and Nikolaus in 1848. Karl, the only remaining Beethoven, despite his uncle’s wishes joined the army in Bohemia, in December 1826. Soon, Ludwig van Beethoven died (1827) and in his last will left everything to Karl.Karl remained in the army till 1832, then married Caroline Naske with whom they had five children, four girls and a boy who was named Ludwig after the famous uncle. Ludwig Johann van Beethoven had education in the Piarist Gymnasium of Vienna, then he joined the army, just as his father did.This man was not worthy for the name of the family. In 1862 he stole money from his regiment, then six years later he had to flee Vienna, running from creditors and criminal court. In both occasions his mother helped him out. He settled down in Munich, Bavaria.Here he was introduced to Richard Wagner and through him to the king of Bavaria, who happened to be another Ludwig, King Ludwig II. To gain favors he falsely claimed himself the grandson of Beethoven, the composer. The trick worked as the King was so impressed that he paid him a monthly income to live on. For some he represented himself as a Baron, cheating money out from them.
