GEORG HAUPTS DAMARBETSBORD

Auktionens damarbetsbord av Georg Haupt är till storlek, form och dekorering närmast identiskt med ett bord som han har signerat och daterat ”fait par George Haupt Ebeniste du Roy à Stockholm l’an 1777”. Det som skiljer bordens intarsiadekor är skivans medaljongmotiv, samt mindre variationer av linjeorneringen. Även sargens rika dekor av förgylld mässing är likadan. Skivans övergripande intarisadekor återfinns även på två Haupt-sekretärer från 1778 på Tullgarns slott, samt på ett damarbetsbord av Haupt i Kungl. Husgerådskammaren (inv.nr 217).

Ett av Haupts favoritmotiv på möbler var medaljonger med antikiserande mans- och kvinnohuvuden i profil. Porträttmedaljongen förekom redan på Haupts mästerstycke och kan härledas till Jean-Charles Delafosses förlagor i Nouvelle Iconologie Historique från 1767. Porträttet på Haupts mästerstycke föreställer drottning Lovisa Ulrika. I regel föreställde dock figurhuvudena ingen bestämd person. Haupt beskrev själv motivtypen som ”inlagd Medaillon och antiquet hufvud” i en räkning till prinsessan Hedvig Elisabeth Charlotta 1777.

Från sina år i Paris hämtade han även dekoren i form av ett rutmönster fyllt med blomrosetter, s.k. grillage- eller quadrillagedekor, eller som Haupt själv kallade det ”rosetter uti mosaique”, eller bara ”mosaique”, vilket var dåtidens franska benämning.
