拍品專文

Mr. and Mrs. Robert Tritton bought Godmersham Park in 1936, and not only rescued the house, but filled it with one of the finest post-war collections of English and French furniture in this country. The property at one time belonged to Jane Austin's brother, Edward Austen Knight, and there are letters written by her describing Godmersham and its beautiful park.
