Its design and construction clearly indicate the influence of David Roentgen, under whom Heinrich Gambs had worked. His cousin, Georg Friedrich Gambs, in turn, learned the style and technique under him in St. Petersburg. This also explains the removable legs, for which Roentgen was known, among other things. In any case, the authorship can be attributed to one of these two Gambs, whether from St. Petersburg or Karlsruhe.
