Note du spécialiste

The present lot relates closely to the pair of bergères, within a suite, supplied by Holland and Daguerre and made by François Hervé, for George, 2nd Earl Spencer (1758 - 1834) for the Countess Spencer's Dressing Room at Althorp (see 'Treasures from Althorp', Exhibition Catalogue, London, 1970, fig. 16). The Spencer pair with parcel-gilt and white decoration were sold in these rooms, The Spencer House Sale, 8 July 2010, lot 1051 (£44,450 including premium).
