The "Grand Mogul's Throne", as contemporary sources called it, is a chef d'oeuvre of European Baroque goldsmith art. Its overall design is the first extensive document of Chinoiserie in Germany. His combination of fashionable interlacing with Far Eastern elements that can easily be applied to organize the surface of objects, Dinglinger helped forge the style of the Dresden Baroque. Between 1701 and 1708, Johann Melchior Dinglinger constructed the palace along with his brothers, the enamel artist Georg Friedrich (1666-1720) and the gold worker Georg Christoph (1668-1746).
