專家說明

This imposing console table in the Dutch William and Mary style of around 1700 was almost certainly made in the 19th century as a pair to an original console. Inspired by French prototypes introduced to the Netherlands by the celebrated architect and designer Daniel Marot (1661-1752), such tables furnished the most important palaces. Examples can be found in the collection of H.M. Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands at Palace Huis ten Bosch near The Hague as well as in the gallery of Het Loo Palace near Apeldoorn; while a pair was sold at Christie's, London, 12 June 2003, lot 1110 (£46,812), and a further table is in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
