专家说明

The present armchairs are elegantly serpentined in the George II 'picturesque' style and relate to Thomas Chippendale's French 'Easy Chair' patterns in The Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker's Director, 1754 (pl. XXI). A pair of armchairs of similarly serpentined outline were supplied to Sir William Courtenay, 3rd Bt. and 1st Viscount Courtenay (1710-1762) for Powderham Castle, Devon.
