專家說明


Similarly to both the pair of commodes in the preceding lot and the single commode in the following lot, these tables feature the unusual line of pin holes to the underside of the frieze, most likely an ingenious way to secure the edge banding by binding with cotton during construction. The presence of this unusual technique to all three of these lots suggests they likely share a common origin.
