專家說明

The base of this table is of identical design to that sold from the collection of Lord Revelstoke at Christie's London, 28 June 1893, lot 287. The Revelstoke table - whose circular top was inset with eight Sèvres porcelain plaques around a central stem which supported the broderie drum - came from the collection of the Hon. Miss Eden and, purportedly, that of Marie-Antoinette. Although the latter provenance is as all too often most probably a 19th century embellishment, Miss Eden was a direct descendant of the diplomat William Eden, made Lord Auckland in 1793, who received Sèvres porcelain and other lavish gifts from Louis XVI in 1787.
