專家說明
Two related mirrors are known. See Anon. sale; Sotheby's, London, 28 February 1969, lot 116 and Anon. sale; Sotheby's, New York, 19 November 1988, lot 97. The carved swan at the apron of the present mirror recalls an engraving by M. Darly for Chippendale's public fundraiser at the Black Swan tavern of 1755. The fundraiser was organized by Chippendale for his workmen who lost their tools in his workshop. See Bilodeau and Fraser, Celebrating Thomas Chippendale, 250 Years of Influence, Georgia, 2005, p. 24.
