Estate Literature: Designed in 1888 by Paul Schley (1854-1942) with the assistance of Burckhardt, Apel and Hinke, only a few examples of this model are known. The vigorous floral painted panels on the present example are likely the work of Franz Aulich (circa 1852-1910), a Silesian artist, trained in Dresden and Berlin, who joined the Berlin (KPM) manufactory as a flower painter in 1888. Aulich later immigrated to the United States in 1893, where he established a painting and porcelain art school in the Auditorium Building, Chicago. He went on to exhibit at both the 1900 Paris Universelle and the 1904 Saint Louis World Fair. This clock garniture form was displayed at various important expositions in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries, including the Exhibition of the German National Applied Arts in Munich in 1888 and the Louisiana Purchase Exhibition, popularly known as the Saint Louis World Fair, 1904. See Franca Dietz, The Collection of Hassan Sabet, The Golden Age of the KPM (Die Sammlung Hassan Sabet, Bluhende Zeit der KPM, Die "Weichmalerei" auf Berliner Porzellan) Petersburg, 2015, pp. 244-249 for an example of this model in the Sabet Collection and a detailed discussion of its history. For a similar pair of candlesticks, see “The State Hermitage Museum, Saint Petersburg, From the Dinner-Service Storerooms, Decorating the Russian Imperial Table in Eighteenth to Early Twentieth Centuries", pp. 370-371, nos. 57.1 and 57.2. The design is characteristic of works made under Alexander Kips’ artistic direction at the Manufactory. The exuberant flower modeling, rocaille scrolls and putti typical of the Neo-Rococo style are fully exhibited in the present lot. Kaiser Wilhelm II (1859-1941) is known to have favored the style, decorating the Neue Palais in this fashion.
