拍品专文

The playwright Edward Knoblock was one of the earliest actual collectors of Regency furniture. He owned several pieces that had belonged to Thomas Hope and which were sold from The Deepdene in 1917. Photographs of his Montague Place house, taken in 1931, are illustrated in Frances Collard, Regency Furniture, Woodbridge, 1985, pp. 265-266. The wall-lights in that room were of the same model as lot XXX in this sale.
