More information

Modellen till auktionens taburetter ritades av Louis Masreliez för Gustav IV Adolfs nya konseljrum på Stockholms slott som inreddes 1795–96. Detta var praktsal där de främsta hantverkarna anlitades. Gottlieb Iwersson snickrade konseljbordet som fick snidade ben av Jean Baptiste Masreliez och förgyllda beslag av Fredrik Ludvig Rung. Av Louis Masreliez finns bevarad en ritning med förslag till möbler där taburetternas karakteristiska ben känns igen. Ändringar och kommentarer på ritningen av Gustav IV Adolfs hand visar att detta var ett prestigefullt uppdrag som engagerade den unge kungen.
Uppdraget att utföra sittmöblerna: kungens karmstol, ett par stolar till hans farbröder hertigarna Karl och Fredrik Adolf samt taburetter gick till stolmakaren Erik Öhrmark (mästare i Stockholm 1777-1813) och den skurna dekoren utfördes av bildhuggaren Pehr Ljung (verksam omkr 1770-1807).
Taburetternas modell ansågs uppenbarligen som så lyckad och prestigefull att en serie också kom att tillverkas för hertiginnan (drottning) Hedvig Elisabet Charlottas våning på Stockholms slott. Till vilken uppsättning auktionens taburetter gjorts kan ej med säkerhet bestämmas men om vilka upphovsmännen var råder ingen tvekan.
