專家說明

The drawer arrangement of this bureau-cabinet corresponds to bureau-cabinet drawings executed in the 1720s by craftsmen sent to train in London by Peter the Great (F. Martynov, 'A Russian Master Cabinet Maker', Furniture History, 1994, p. 95, figs. 1-2). A similar cabinet with the same shaped moulded cornice above two arched mirrored bevelled doors and attributed to the Strand cabinet-maker Peter Miller, was sold by Sir Thomas Beevor, Bt., Christie's London, 14 June 2001, lot 150 (£157,750).
