專家說明

The bureau-cabinet is decorated with figures in garden landscapes inspired by East India Company lacquer imports as recommended by Messrs Stalker and Parker in their celebrated Treatise on Japanning and Varnishing, 1688, a style which was considered especially suitable for the decoration of bedroom apartments. The development of japanning in England afforded furniture makers the opportunity to offer their customers western forms of furniture and at more advantageous cost than the imported lacquered equivalent.
