專家說明

This fine neo-Renaissance rosewood and ivory inlay cabinet was exhibited at the 1886 Liverpool International Exhibition by Samuel Waring & Co. of Bold Street, Liverpool. The exhibition, the first to be held outside the capital, was opened by Queen Victoria. The cabinet was illustrated, and extensively commented on in the October 1886 issue of the The Cabinet Maker and Art Furnisher magazine where the designer, Thomas Clarke, and Samuel Waring & Co. were commended for having successfully adapted ‘the Italian Renaissance to an English cabinet’, and creating ‘an extremely choice production’, which was ‘admirable’, ‘well balanced’ and ‘imposing’ p. 106).
