專家說明


Messrs. Gillows' Estimate Sketch Book, no. 5106 for August 1836, features a pattern for this type of tray-fitted library cabinet as a 'Pedestal portfolio stand' and lists its manufacturing cost as £13.2.6. It proved a popular and practical piece of furniture, and amongst related examples was one provided to Thomas Langford-Brooke (d. 1815) for the library at Mere Hall, Cheshire (sold Christie's house sale, 23 May 1994, lot 196); and one provided for the library at Tatton Park. A further related design for a portfolio stand is in Gillows' Estimate Sketch Books (ESB 344/102, 19 July 1828, no. 3671).
