A Bavarian carved, polychrome decorated and parcel gilt sleighFirst-half 19th century Of scallop-shaped design fitted with two opposing seats upholstered in red leather with a further groom's seat to the back surmounted on a carved dolphin, the front mounted with a pair of carved mute swans on moulded skis with scrolled rope twisted font and a mermaid crest carrying two shields, each decorated with a coat of arms of a demi-griffin sable, armed and langued gules surmounted by a demi-griffin together with two harness-fixing batons to the front, 92cm wide x 288cm deep x 176cm high, (36in wide x 113in deep x 69in high) the front harness fixing battons: 246cm in lengh, Footnotes:Provenance: Reputedly the sleigh was previously used by Ludwig II of BavariaSotheby's, Zurich, Fine Furniture, Clocks and Ornaments, 24 November 1993, lot 178, where it was sold by a member of the Wittelsbach family from a Château near Fribourg, Switzerland.Ludwig II (25 August 1845 – 13 June 1886) also known as the Swan King, is well known for his collection of impressive and elaborate coaches and sleighs, including his most notorious putti sleigh (famously painted by R. Wenig in 1880) made by the court's carriage manufacturer Johann Michael Mayer. Comparisons to the featured lot can be made with several examples held in the Marstallmuseum (Museum of carriages and sleighs) at the Nymphenburg Palace. Ludwig's sleigh's would take part in parades and masquerades ensuring that sleigh's would be not only practical forms of transport but also beautiful works of art. The carved nautical features of this sleigh including a pair of swans puling a scallop shell surmounted by an armoured mermaid, symbolises both strength and beauty. The pair of swans pulling a 'shell boat' is likely to be a reference to the story of The Swan Knight, a medieval tale about a mysterious Knight who comes in a swan-drawn boat to rescue a damsel. Later adapted by the German poet Wolfram von Eschenbach in the 13th century, it was then adapted into the opera, Lohengrin in 1848 by Wagner, loved so much by Ludwig II, he named his castle Neuschwanstein Castle after the Swan Knight.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * TP* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.TP Lots denoted with a 'TP' will be moved to an offsite storage location (Cadogan Tate, Auction House Services, 241 Acton Lane, London NW10 7NP, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.

A related example, with slightly more elaborate carving, is in the collection of the late Count of Rechteren Limpurg at Rechteren Castle, Overijssel (A. Berendsen, Het Nederlandse Interieur, Utrecht, 1950, p. 218, fig. 230)Literature: Ralph Edwards illustrates a near identical metamorphic armchair at Padworth House, Berkshire, in his Shorter Dictionary of English Furniture, London, 1964, p. 269, fig. 14, dating it to the 1730s. However, the overall proportions and the distinctive, isolated carving of the toprail, indicates that this chair was more likely to have been made in Holland. Examples, of 'travelling chairs', often called 'reisstoelen' can be found in several old Dutch collections, which also suggests a Dutch rather than an English origin for this type of furniture.A near identical example to the present chair can be found in the Stichting Hannema-de Stuers Fundatie at Het Nijenhuis Castle, Overijssel, and is illustrated in A. van der Feltz, Kunstnijverheid Hannema-de Stuers Fundatie, Zwolle, 1980, p. 57, fig 123.Another closely related example is illustrated in C. de Jonge, Holländische Möbel und Raumkunst, The Hague, 1922, p. 218.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * TP* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.TP Lots denoted with a 'TP' will be moved to an offsite storage location (Cadogan Tate, Auction House Services, 241 Acton Lane, London NW10 7NP, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.
