專家說明
This occasional table was adapted from a stool bought by James Hepworth directly from the Dukes of Wellington. It had been in the basement of Stratfield Saye House for more than a century and was covered in dust and grime when acquired. The Wellington Papers reputedly revealed this was originally meant to be a coronation stool for King George IV. While unfounded, it is not inconceivable given the similarities it shares with columns seen in an 1850 watercolor of the Pavilion Breakfast Room (or Chinese Luncheon Room) at Brighton Pavilion by James Roberts, which is in the Royal Collection.
