專家說明

This fine Dutch Armoire was probably acquired by Frederick Howard (1748-1825), 5th Earl of Carlisle who undertook a project of updating Vanburgh's masterpiece Castle Howard at the end of the 18th century and also oversaw the long overdue completion of the West Wing in 1811 under the direction of Charles Heathcote Tatham. The interiors to which remained unfinished and therefore unfurnished upon the death of the previous architect Sir Thomas Robinson in 1777, thus prompting a buying spree.
