專家說明
This French form of Drawing Room chair, with Grecian-scrolled tablets and frames was popularised with the launch in 1809 of Rudolph Ackermann's, The Repository of Arts. Here he recommended their upholstery 'with the best red morocco leather, velvet, or (which is far more elegant) rich damask silk, ornamented with rich Persian fringe, and beautifully bordered en suite with the window curtains.
W. Paul was probably a journeyman chairmaker working for Gillows.
