Note du spécialiste

The celebrated collection of English furniture formed by Eric Moller in the 1940s and 1950s was one of several formed under the expert, almost mythical, guidance of the furniture historian R. W. Symonds. Moller's collection formed the basis of Symonds' Furniture Making in 17th and 18th Century England of 1955; if, as it appears, this tripod is indeed that illustrated then it too hails from the Moller Collection.
