專家說明


The bookcase combines Gothic and classical elements in the elegant George III fashion introduced around 1780. The commode doors' Roman medallions, the arcaded cornice and the ribboned glazing with pointed arches all feature in Messrs A. Hepplewhite & Co.'s The Cabinet-Maker and Upholster's Guide, 1788.
