拍品专文

The chairs, with their hermed and antique-fluted legs and patteraed arms relate to a suite of seat furniture at Osterley Park (see M. Tomlin, Catalogue of Adam Period Furniture, London, 1982, no. D/3 pp.34 and 35), while a related chair with palm-flowered rails dating from the 1770s is now in the Victoria and Albert Museum (see R. Edwards, English Chairs, London, 1951, fig. 94). The chairs are labelled by Messrs. Wright & Mansfield, who played a leading role in the revival of the Adam style from the 1860s to the 1880s.
