專家說明


Although not stamped, the original model for the present commode is almost certainly the work of the maître ébéniste Charles Cressent (d. 1768) and dates from the 1730s. Formerly in the collection of the Dukes of Hamilton, the commode was sold at the Christie's Hamilton Palace sale (lot 1806) in 1882 for 6,427 pounds 10s and is now at Waddesdon Manor.
