專家說明
These sofas were inspired by the French antique fashion popularised by C. Percier and P. Fontaine's, Recueil de décorations interieures, 1801. They relate in particular to the contemporary French-fashioned lyre seats invented by the connoisseur Thomas Hope (d.1832) for his Mayfair mansion/museum and illustrated in his house-guide entitled, Household Furniture and Interior Decoration, 1807 (see pls. XXIV no 2, and XXV no 1).
