專家說明

Table bureaus were particularly popular in the eighteenth century, and were eventually copied in the East for the Western market, most notably in rich ivory-inlay, as in the present lot. However this form with its 'gothick' stand appears to be less commonplace. A similar table bureau, in the collection of Sir Edward Knatchbull of Mersham-le-Hatch, Kent was mounted on a 'very neat new stand' by Thomas Chippendale in 1767 (see P. K. Thornton, 'The Furnishing of Mersham le Hatch I & II', Apollo, April 1970, pp. 266-77, and June 1970, pp. 440-51 reference in C. Gilbert, The Life and Work of Thomas Chippendale, 1978, p. 221). The Mersham-le-Hatch example is illustrated in A. Jaffer, Furniture from British India and Ceylon, 2001, fig. 86.
