Note du spécialiste

Bamboo furniture was considered appropriate to interiors in the Chinese taste in the 18th and 19th centuries culminating in a series of cabinets and chairs made by the Royal cabinet-makers Elward, Marsh and Tatham for George IV for the Brighton pavilion (see G. Walkling, Antique Bamboo Furniture, London, 1979, pp. 21-28).
