Description
Desk set in the shape of an antique lamp; completely gilded, decorated with crimson lines and star ornaments; lower part with antique-like bar pattern; topped by a kneeling, winged woman in a long garment who pours from a jug into the inkwell placed in front of her.
Provenance
From the Friedrich Henneberg collection; comes from the estate of duchess Marie (died in Gotha in 1860), widow of duke Ernest I of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, born duchess of Württemberg, who, coming from Petersburg, married into the Gotha family in 1832 - the object probably dates from that approximate period.
