拍品专文

Stylistically these chairs are similar to a suite of ‘Boulle’ style furniture made by Peter Gambs’s workshop in 1840 as depicted in a drawing by Luigi Premazzi in 1852 of the bedchamber of Empress Maria Alexandrovna at the Winter Palace, though it has not been possible to collaborate the provenance that these chairs were once in the Russian Imperial collections.
