專家說明
This mahogany chest relates to a number of similar chests possibly by Thomas Chippendale at Dumfries House, Ayrshire. Although not recorded in the bill, there are certain features that allow an attribution. Behind the simple bracket foot, the blocking is laminated, there are nails on the underside for the 'pack thread' for the protective transportation cover: features found on the mahogany clothes-press attributed to Thomas Chippendale and possibly that invoiced by him on 4 June 1763 as 'A large mahog’y cloaths press with folding doors and sliding shelves of cedar and bays apron 9...' The latter was included in the Dumfries House Christie's sale catalogue, 13 July 2007, lot 236.
