專家說明

The needlework on this armchair is surely inspired by that on the wing armchair once owned by Nancy Lancaster and which stood beside the chimneypiece in the Entrance Hall, Haseley, Oxfordshire. She had chosen to cover it with needlework of blue and white Delft vases, ewers, coffee pots and other vessels. The needlework was bought in London and the remainder was used to cover a set of four side chairs used for playing Bridge. The armchair was sold anonymously, Christie's, London, 25 November 2004, lot 50 (£21,510).
