Lot 730 | Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832) - persönliches Bronze-Petschaft, Geschenk des Großherzogs Carl Friedrich von Sachsen-Weimar-Eisenach an den Prinzen Adalbert von Bayern
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832) - persönliches Bronze-Petschaft, Geschenk des Großherzogs Carl Friedrich von Sachsen-Weimar-Eisenach an den Prinzen Adalbert von Bayern
Schwere, einteilige Bronzeausführung in Form eines Pinienzapfens auf Sockel, die Siegelfläche mit dem geschnittenen Wappen Goethes ab 1782 und alten Rückständen von Siegellack. Höhe 65 mm, Gewicht 228 g. An einer weiß-blauen Kordel anhängende Provenienzkarte "Petschaft mit Wappen aus dem pers. Besitz Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Geschenk S.K.H. des Großherzogs von Sachsen-Weimar an S.K.H. den Prinzen Adalbert von Bayern", rückseitig Inventaretikett "Eigenthum S.K.H. Prinz Alfons", die Kordel sowohl an rotem Wachssiegel als auch an Papieretikett des Prinzen Alfons befestigt.
Großherzog Carl Friedrich (1783 - 1853) wurde 1828 Regent, als sein Vater, Großherzog Carl August, verstarb. Diesen hatte mit dem etwas älteren Goethe eine lebenslange Freundschaft verbunden, seit er ihn 1775 als Minister an seinen Hof berufen hatte.
Prinz Adalbert von Bayern (1828 - 1875), bayr. General und Erbprinz von Griechenland, war ein großer Sammler von Siegeln und Petschaften. Sein Sohn Prinz Alfons erbte nicht nur die Sammlung seines Vaters, sondern führte die Leidenschaft weiter und baute die Sammlung aus. Bedeutendes Objekt aus dem Besitz des Dichterfürsten.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832) - a personal bronze seal, gift of Grand Duke Carl Friedrich of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach to Prince Adalbert of Bavaria
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832) - a personal bronze seal, gift of Grand Duke Carl Friedrich of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach to Prince Adalbert of Bavaria
Heavy bronze crafted in one piece in the shape of a pine cone on a base, the seal surface with the chiselled coat of arms of Goethe from 1782 onwards and old residues of sealing wax. Height 65 mm, weight 228 g. Card of provenance (tr.) "Seal with coat of arms from the personal property of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Gift by His Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Saxe-Weimar to His Royal Highness Prince Adalbert of Bavaria" attached with a white-blue cord, on the reverse inventory label (tr.) "Property of His Royal Highness Prince Alfons", the cord affixed both to the red wax seal and to the paper label of Prince Alfons.
Grand Duke Carl Friedrich (1783 - 1853) became regent in 1828 when his father, Grand Duke Carl August, died. The latter had maintained a lifelong friendship with the slightly older Goethe after having called him to his court as minister in 1775.
Prince Adalbert of Bavaria (1828 - 1875), Bavarian general and heir to the throne of Greece, was a great collector of seals. His son Prince Alfons did not only inherit his father’s collection, but also continued this passion and enlarged the collection.
Significant object from the property of the prince of poets.
