- Koller Auctions, 20 September 2000. Lot No. 1674.

With expert opinion by Dr. C. Cornet, Munich 2020.
This very finely crafted multi-purpose desk combines several typical features of the work of the Neuwied Manufactory of Abraham and David Roentgen. Technically sophisticated multi-purpose furniture was a speciality of the Roentgen workshop, as was the excellent quality of the workmanship. The table also captivates with its fine marquetry "en mosaique", a speciality of the Roentgen Manufactory, which developed it to absolute mastery from 1760 onwards. A multi-purpose desk auctioned at Sotheby's in December 1991 features the almost identical marquetry as the desk on offer.
