Jahrhunderts und diente der sogenannten seconde toilette, also der Körper- und Gesichtspflege sowie der Verschönerung nach der Körperreinigung, also nach der première toilette. Der Begriff leitet sich von dem feinen Tüchlein (toilette) ab, das ursprünglich auf dem Tisch während des Frisierens lag, um nötige Utensilien darauf auszubreiten und Puderreste oder anfallendes Haar aufzunehmen. Zunächst erscheint uns das hier angebotene Möbel als äußerst spezialisiert, doch ist es in Wahrheit multifunktional, ist doch auch eine Schreibvorrichtung integriert.Anmerkung 2:622 Roentgenmöbel sind heute in Museen und Privatbesitz bekannt. Im Jahre 1750 begann der Aufstieg der Manufaktur. Anspruchsvolle Kunden wie das Grafenhaus in Neuwied, der Kurfürst und Erzbischof Johann Philipp von Walderdorff. Eine quittierte Rechnung von Abraham Roentgen an Johann Caspar Goethe zeugt vom Bestand von Möbeln im Goethehaus. Auch Johann Wolfgang von Goethe gehörte zu den Kunden von Roentgen. Es wurden zunehmend Königshäuser in Europa beliefert, so auch Katharina die Große von Rußland, Roentgens wichtigste Kundin. Weitere Kunden waren: Kurfürst von Mainz, Friedrich der Große von Preußen, Friedrich Wilhelm II, Graf zu Ysenburg, Graf zu Solms-Laubach, Fürst Friedrich Alexander zu Wied, Kurfürst Franz Georg von Schönburn, Fürstbischof Adam Friedrich von Seinshaim, Markgräfin Caroline Louise von Baden-Durlach, Reichsgraf Florimond Mercy d´Argenteau, Friedrich II von Hessen, Prinz von Lothringen, Marie Antoinette, König Louis XVI, Graf Alexander Stroganoff und viele andere. Museen und Sammlungen: In vielen Museen der Welt befinden sich die wenigen erhaltenen Möbel der Manufaktur Roentgen: Musée des Arts Decoratives, Paris; Victoria & Albert-Museum, London; Metropolitan Museum, New York; Bayerisches Nationalmuseum, München, Louvre, Paris; Eremitage St. Petersburg, Samuel H. Kress-Collection - London; Wallace-Collection, London. Schloß Wörlitz; Schloss Charlottenburg, Sammlung Stavros Niarchos u. v. a. (1390084) (13)Important Roentgen coiffeuse77 x 91 x 63.5 cm.Neuwied, 1770 / 1775.Accompanied by a detailed report by Christine Cornet, expert for antique furniture, Munich.Oak and softwood structure veneered in stained maple wood, so-called “bois de tabac” and other light veneers, rosewood, cedar, and cherry wood with mountings in brass, iron, gilt-bronze and silver. The visible surfaces are decorated with flower and bow motif marquetry. The dynamic shape of the body is surmounted on four slightly curved, edged legs. The only drawer features an internal fold-out desk. The centre of the tabletop can be opened featuring an internal mirror, its sides can be opened to the left and right with a hinge. There are striped marquetry blinds below that can be rolled down to the back. Below this is a large drawer, or more precisely a removable four-fold square compartment with a wallpapered compartment underneath and behind it. In addition to the compartments accessible from above, the coiffeuse features three drawers: two narrow drawers below the side compartments that can be opened mechanically, and the central drawer mentioned above. A small drawer opening from the side is set with an inkwell, sand shaker and a pen compartment – each made of silver.Notes:This type of “table de toilette” came into being in the mid-18th century and was used for the “seconde toilette”, that is body and facial care and beautification after the “première toilette”, the purpose of which was simply washing. The term derives from a fine cloth (toile) that was originally placed on the table while dressing the hair to lay out the necessary utensils and to pick up any waste powder or hair. At first, the table on offer for sale in this lot appears to be very specialized, but it is multifunctional as it features integrated writing utensils.Notes 2:Today, 622 pieces of Roentgen furniture are known to be held in museums and private collections. The manufactory rose to fame from 1750. Demanding clients, such as the princely House of Neuwied, the Prince-Elector and Archbishop Johann Philipp von Walderdorff. A receipted invoice from Abraham Roentgen to Johann Caspar Goethe testifies to the inventory of furniture in the Goethe House. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was also one of Roentgen´s clients. Increasingly European royal families were being supplied including Catherine the Great of Russia, Roentgen´s most important client.
