專家說明

Popular since the mid-17th Century, straw-work objects such as boxes, games-boards and other accessories were fashionable objects sold by the marchands-merciers. From the second half of the 18th Century, marchands such as Delasson were selling and manufacturing not only small objects, but a whole range of furniture in coloured marqueterie de paille.
