拍品 1 A MATTER OF PRINCIPALITY
Several unique types of furniture belong to the Principality of Wales. One is the Coffor Bach, a particularly small storage chest, often associated with marriage. Another type of chest is the boarded type with front curved feet from the Border regions. The quintessential item of Welsh furniture, the ubiquitous dresser, is represented here by this particularly imposing architectural dresser from Montgomeryshire. The two-part cupboard (deuddarn) evolved by adding a third upper section to become the Tridarn, a type of furniture exclusive to North Wales.
