Two French Baroque style highback wooden chairs. Late 19th century. (2).

Provenance: King Christian X (1870–1947) and Queen Alexandrine of Denmark (1879–1952), Christian VIII's Palace at Amalienborg; hereafter their son and daughter-in-law, Hereditary Prince Knud (1900–1976) and Hereditary Princess Caroline-Mathilde of Denmark (1912–1995), Christian VIII's Palace at Amalienborg; thereafter their son, His Excellency Ingolf Count of Rosenborg (b. 1940) until today.

King Christian X and Queen Alexandrine of Denmark moved into Christian VIII's Palace at Amalienborg in connection with their wedding in 1898. Here they furnished the living room with more high-back armchairs in Baroque style, including these two above. Both chairs remained in the palace when Hereditary Prince Knud and Hereditary Princess Caroline-Mathilde of Denmark took over the right to use the palace. One of the chairs (with dark red cover) can be seen in a photograph (to the right) from 1970, when the room was still the living room for the Hereditary Prince Couple.

This lot is part of our Theme: H.E. Ingolf Count of Rosenborg
