專家說明

The design of this elegant chair, with Roman-medallion back in the French 'cabriolet' fashion, can be attributed to the celebrated Soho cabinet-making partnership established in 1759 by William Ince and John Mayhew and publicised by their furniture pattern-book, The Universal System of Household Furniture, 1762. The same pattern of columnar leg and acanthus-flowered back features on closely related 'Cabriole Chairs' chairs designed by John Mayhew in harmony with Robert Adam's Roman-patterned ceiling introduced at Chirk Castle, Wrexham, Wales in the 1770s. Three of the chairs were sold from Chirk Castle, Christie's house sale, 21 June 2004 lots 50 (a pair, sold £74,090 including premium) and 51 (a single chair, sold £38,240 including premium).
