A rare Schinkel cast iron seat 2nd quarter 19th century 160cm.; 63ins wide The architect and designer Karl Friedrich Schinkel 1781-1841 designed a number of cast iron seats in the neo classical style. From 1810 he was a member of Prussia`s supreme building authority. He travelled to Italy as well as England and Scotland where he visited a number of foundries. A more simple prototype chair was first produced in 1824-1826. The earliest dated example of this seat is in the 1936 catalogue of Prince Furstenburg`s Amelienhutte in Bachzimmern, and it was then copied by a number of other German, Dutch and Bohemian foundries in the mid 19th Century. The fineness of casting and three dimensional aspect of the end supports would suggest that this is a period or near period example, since the later copies made by foundries in both Europe and the U.S.A have straight sides rather than the shaped ones in this example
