Der Typus des Mainzer Schreibschrankes, "Cantourgen" genannt, abgeleitet von "Kantor" oder "Cantour", was einen Schreibtisch bzw. ein Büro bezeichnet, gilt als Höhepunkt deutscher Möbelkunst des 18. Jahrhunderts. Es entspricht auch dem lokalen Dialekt, dem "Cantour" (dem großen Büro) ein "gen", zu Hochdeutsch die Verkleinerungsform "chen" beizufügen, und so ein "Cantour-chen" ein "kleines Büro" zu benennen. Die charakteristischen stilistischen Merkmale sind u.a. die markanten, abgeschrägten und teils frei stehenden Volutenlisenen und C-Bögen an den Ecken mit den korinthischen Kapitellen sowie die reichen Intarsien aus verschiedenen Materialien. Dieser Möbeltypus galt als Meisterstück der Mainzer Tischler und die Exemplare wurden zumeist für den lokalen Adel gefertigt. Besonders ist die Tatsache, daß sich zu den hervorragenden Mainzer Möbeln aus dem 18. Jahrhundert nicht nur die Möbel als solche, sondern auch eine sehr umfangreiche Reihe von Meisterrissen der Mainzer Schreinerzunft erhalten haben, die in der Folge die Formen der Meisterstücke der Zeit zwischen 1676 und 1816 wiedergibt. Lit. Fritz Arens, Meisterrisse und Möbel der Mainzer Schreiner, Mainz 1955, Tafel 53 ff. Bekannte Mainzer Stückmeister waren u.a. Anton Ortlauff, Johann Philipp Joseph Alffter, Johann Philipp Raab, Ludwig Escher, Franz Brant oder Heinrich Härtig und Johann Valentin Brenner. In Privatbesitz sind noch verschiedene Exemplare der Cantourgen bekannt, weitere Stücke u.a. im Reiß-Museum (Mannheim), im Badischen Landesmuseum (Karlsruhe), im Hessischen Landesmuseum (Darmstadt) oder in der Eremitage (St. Petersburg). Lit. Kreisel/Himmelheber, Die Kunst des deutschen Möbels, Spätbarock und Rokoko, S. 304 ff., Abb. 1038-1045, wobei von den hier vorgestellten Exemplaren ein Schreibschrank von Kilian Bender um 1750 bzw. ein Sekretär von Johann Philipp Raab aus dem Jahr 1766 (Abb. 1038, 1041) in der Form und Volutendekoration die meisten Ähnlichkeiten zu dem hier angebotenen Stück vorweisen. Vgl. Auch Wolfgang L. Eller, Schreibmöbel 1700-1850, Abb. 96-104 sowie Heidrun Zinnkann, Meisterstücke Mainzer Möbel des 18. Jahrhunderts, Katalognr. X. Die Geschichte der einst freien Stadt Mainz (1244-1462) wurde bis zum Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts durch die Mainzer Kurfürsten und Erzbischöfe bestimmt. Dank seiner günstigen geographischen Lage am Rhein und seiner Funktion als Festungsstadt und Sitz des Kurfürsten erlebte Mainz im 17. und 18. Jahrhundert eine weitere wirtschaftliche und kulturelle Blüte, was zur Folge hatte, daß die Ansprüche und Nachfragen in Kunst und Handwerk stiegen und Mainz zu einem in vielen Bereichen führenden kulturellen Zentrum wurde. AN EXCELLENT BRONZE MOUNTED AND MARQUETRIED WALNUT, BOG OAK, PLUM AND OTHERS SECRETAIRE-A-TROIS-CORPS, SO-CALLED "CANTOURGEN", Mainz, c. 1740/50.

March 1981, lot 4520. In family property until today. The Mainz furniture type "Cantourgen" (a German dialect word, meaning a small office) is the highpoint of German art of furniture in the 18th century and these masterpieces have mostly been manufactured for the local nobility. Quite a lot of design illustrations from the masters of the Mainz carpenters' guild have remained until today, showing the development of this furniture type in the period from 1676 until 1816 (Cf. Fritz Arens, Meisterrisse und Möbel der Mainzer Schreiner, Mainz 1955, plate 53 ff.). Famous Mainz masters were amongst others Anton Ortlauff, Johann Philipp Joseph Alffter, Johann Philipp Raab, Ludwig Escher, Franz Brant, Heinrich Härtig and Johann Valentin Brenner. Some examples of the Cantourgen can still be found in private collections but also in museums like Reiß-Museum (Mannheim), Badisches Landesmuseum (Karlsruhe), Hessisches Landesmuseum (Darmstadt) and Eremitage Museum (St. Petersburg). Rel. Lit. Kreisel/Himmelheber, Die Kunst des deutschen Möbels, Spätbarock und Rokoko, p. 304 ff., fig. 1038-1045, whereby from this examples a bureau from Kilian Bender, c. 1750, and from Johann Philipp Raab, 1766, are most closely to the piece at hand. Cf. also Wolfgang L. Eller, Schreibmöbel 1700-1850, fig. 96-104. Heidrun Zinnkann, Meisterstücke Mainzer Möbel des 18. Jahrhunderts, Fig. X. - The history of the former Free City Mainz (1244-1462) has been shaped by the electorial princes and archbishops until late 18th ct., experienced a cultural and prosperous heyday and became a leading cultural centre.

James Leicester is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working from circa 1710 until 1729 when he was declared bankrupt.Condition Report: Movement appears essentially complete and in sound original condition with no obvious alterations, significant repairs or replacements although the pendulum suspension block is later and is generally in dirty/neglected condition. The dial is also in sound original albeit dirty/neglected condition, the seconds hand is missing and both the hour and minute hands have been repaired; there is also a very small chip to the lower left hand corner of the dial plate and the chapter ring is somewhat rubbed. The movement rests on an old seatboard which has packing slips applied to the underside where it rests on the case uprights (cheeks) this would indicate that the movement and dial are most likely not original to the case.The case is generally structurally sound and fundamentally original but presents in unrestored and somewhat distressed condition. The superstructure to the hood is lacking part of its front fretwork and the quadrants above the dial now have applied wooden panels where there would have been frets. The rear quarter columns are replacements and one is lacking its capital. The side apertures have been blanked-off with wooden panel inserts. The mask around the dial (behind the hood door) has additions to the veneer overlap which adds to the view that the movement and dial are probably not original to the case. Faults to hood otherwise limited to bumps, scuffs shrinkage and veneer and moulding chips. The trunk has losses to the mouldings of the front door as well as overall wear, chips and losses to the veneers. The base is basically structurally intact but has significant wear to the lower edge as well as large losses to the veneers and chips to the mouldings.Clock does not have pendulum, weights, case keys or winder.
