专家说明

A sketch for this type of table appears in Gillows' Estimate Sketch Books, dated 1810 and referred to as a 'chamber writing-table' (No. 344/144, p. 11, Westminster City Archives). Gillows supplied four tables of this pattern in 1811 to T. W. Egerton for Tatton Park, Cheshire (N. Goodison and J. Hardy, 'Gillows at Tatton Park, Cheshire', Furniture History, 1970, pp. 28, 30, 32 and 35, pl. 16B).
A similar chamber writing-table was sold anonymously, Christie's, London, 27 April 2006, lot 328 (£11,400 including premium).
