Stgt., Elben 1788. cl.4°. Hardcover (stock). Not in Kirchner and Diesch, rare. - Elben took over the newspaper privilege from the Stuttgart printers, the Mäntler brothers, and published the first number of the "Schwäbischer Merkur" on October 3, 1785. As the rights were only registered until 1787 and Elben feared that the privilege would not be renewed, he founded the "Schwäbische Chronick" for local news in the neighboring free imperial city of Esslingen in 1786. On January 3, 1787, Duke Karl Eugen approved the renewal on the condition that the "Merkur" was printed in the Academy's print shop, which was very close to his heart. Elben was thus able to unite the two papers and the "Chronick" appeared from that time on as a weekly supplement to the "Merkur" (cf. O. Elben, Geschichte des Schwäbischen Merkurs 1785-1885, pp. 12-14). - Bookplate. - ╔In the process:╗ Casselische Policey- und Commercien-Zeitung. Jgge. 1759 and 1760 in 1 vol. Kassel 1759-60.

A Transitional royal gilt-bronze mounted and satinwood commode, attributed to Simon Oeben This lot is sold in aid of the 30 Millions d'Amis Foundation. This lot is being sold in aid of 30 Millions d'Amis. The stencil mark F (couronné) N°183 on the back and reverse of the marble top of our commode corresponds to the inventory of the Château de Fontainebleau in 1787: " N°183. Une commode à deux grands tiroirs et 3 petits dans la frise plaquée de bois satiné uni, annneaux et sabots de bronze de couleur, dessus de marbre de Flandre de 4 pieds 1/2 de large [1m46]" (1). In the inventory of the château the previous year (1786, O1 3397), the chest of drawers is described in the same terms in the same room of the Dauphin Louis Joseph, without an inventory number or a number from the Journal du Garde-Meuble de la Couronne that could identify its delivery date. It seems certain that this chest of drawers was not one of the deliveries made by the royal furniture guard's usual suppliers (Joubert then Riesener), duly recorded on a daily basis in the furniture guard's register. More likely, it was part of a batch of furniture purchased from a dealer. A similar satinwood commode, also by Simon Oeben and with the Fontainebleau mark F (couronné) N°976, was placed in 1787 in the bedroom of the Duchesse d'Orléans (Sotheby's Monaco sale, February 26-27, 1992, n°220, then Edmond Safra collection, then Christie's London, Exceptional sale, July 6, 2023, lot 27) (fig. 1). Like the commode shown here, it could not be identified by a number in the Journal du Garde Meuble Royal, but had brush numbers on its frame (n°I Chambre). Its marble was that of commode N°974, which formed its counterpart in the bedroom of the Duchess of Orleans, with the same brush marks (from chapel N°I C). We thus had three similar commodes by Simon Oeben, unmarked in the Garde-Meuble journal, but with brush marks corresponding to an earlier inventory. Given that Simon Oeben's main client was Étienne-François, Duc de Choiseul (1719-1785), whose Château de Chanteloup and Parisian residence he furnished, these chests of drawers are closely related to the Chanteloup furnishings. After Choiseul's death, when the château was sold to the Duc de Penthièvre in 1786, some of the furniture was retained. However, a comparison of Choiseul's inventory with that of Penthièvre shows that many pieces were sold at that time, the dates coinciding with the appearance of the commodes at Fontainebleau. In Choiseul's inventory of 1786 (2), no fewer than thirty commodes were listed in the château's apartments, including three in mahogany, three in satinwood and twenty-four in "bois des Indes", a vague term used at the time to designate exotic wood veneers. Their descriptions are too brief to confirm that they correspond to this type of commode, but later inventories point to this model. It is therefore likely that some of this furniture was sold by the Choiseul estate to the Garde-Meuble de la Couronne, according to Christian Baulez (3). Only two chests of drawers in the Duchesse de Choiseul's bedroom had their ornaments in gilded bronze. In bedroom no. 9, "a table of bois des Indes, a commode of similar wood" were inventoried, and together with a set of crimson lampas, fetched the substantial sum of 1800 livres. This could therefore correspond to the number 9 found on the frame and reverse of the marble top of our copy.
