專家說明

This pair of torchères formed part of a suite of at least fifteen shield-form armchairs and three settees with the same bead and patera-enriched decoration that was supplied by James Wyatt (1746-1813) for the Drawing Room at Broome Park, Kent, around 1778 when the interiors were remodeled for Sir Henry Oxenden, 6th Bart. (d.1803). This suite appears in a photograph of the Drawing Room in a Country Life article of 6 July 1907, p. 20. Chairs and sofas from the suite were sold from a Private Collection, Sotheby's New York, 25 January 1997, lots 217-219.
