專家說明

A comparable parcel-gilt and polychrome-painted chandelier by Friederich Elias Meyer and Pierre Geoffroy, commissioned by King Frederick the Great circa 1765 for the Neues Palais, Potsdam-Sansoucci, was brought over by Emperor Wilhelm II during his exile at Huis Doorn, The Netherlands, where it still remains (illustrated in R. Baarsen et al, Rococo in Nederland, Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, 2002, p. 81, no. 18). Another similar chandelier now in the Private Collection of HM the Queen, also from the German Royal family, was presented to Sandringham House by Kaiser Wilhelm I where it remains.
