專家說明

Designed in the Grecian Louis Quatorze fashion, this writing-table relates to a 'sofa table' pattern in Thomas Sheraton's, Cabinet-Maker and Upholsterer's Enclopaedia, 1804-8, pl.39. The frieze is embellished with a mosaic of matched and richly figured tablets of rosewood, while reed-gadroons and a bubbled ribbon-guilloche wreath 'vase' pillars, whose 'altar' plinths are raised by acanthus-wrapped trusses enriched with palms.
