專家說明

The present cabinet is one of three identical cabinets, and the only one of those examples to feature an unusually distinctive rag-painted finish, that were removed directly from the Country Life offices, London, for sale by auction in 1987. Edward Hudson, owner and first editor of Country Life, was an early and important champion of Lutyens’ work, providing him with access to clients and commissions.
