Lot Essay

The antique ornament of this magnificent palm-flowered cheval glass, enriched with Grecian black ribbons and tablets, evolved from that published in Thomas Hope's, Household Furniture and Interior Decoration, 1807 (pl. XIV, figs. 3 and 4). Its robust character, in which 'the English style is carefully blended with Parisian taste' was described as the 'Modern' style in the The Modern Style of Cabinet Work Exemplified, 1829 issued by the 'Upholsterer' Thomas King of Lincoln's Inn Fields.
