About the Item

Rosewood veneered on oak 22x15x24 cm Abraham Roentgen (1711–1793) and his son David were the creators of marquetry furniture of highly refined quality and ingenious construction that earned them popularity across Europe. From the modest town of Neuwied in North Rhine-Westphalia, they had a workshop that produced designs that neatly incorporated secret compartments and moving mechanical parts. The firm was founded in 1742, and during its flourishing under the ancien régime they supplied furniture to, amongst others, Catherine the Great, Louis XVI and King Frederick William II of Prussia, to whom they delivered the magnificent ‘Neuwieder Kabinett’ now in the Kunstgewerbemuseum in Berlin. Small caskets, boxes and tea chests of this type appear to have been a popular smaller item for the Roentgens, and they are well-documented in literature on the history of furniture as well as major public collections. oday, approximately 100 of these precious caskets still survive, though most are in the size of small tea chests. Until the Hamburg lottery of 1769, their acquisition was reserved exclusively for Abraham Roentgen's aristocratic clientele. It was only the introduction of the tea tax in the late 1760s and the shift in taste towards classicism that led to a decline in demand for these elaborate caskets.
