专家说明

George V of Hanover commissioned Edwin Oppler in 1860 to build his hill-top summer residence Schloss Marienburg in a late-medieval style. A similar table, designed by Oppler for Marienburg circa 1866, is illustrated in H. Kriesel, Die Kunst des Deutchen Mobels, pl.876. Oppler, who was Jewish, is best known as the architect of a number of important German synagogues, including the New Synagogue in Hanover designed in the Romanesque style.
