拍品专文

This richly carved centre table, decorated with carved scrolls and flower heads and with inwardly-curving supports, is closely related to the oeuvre of furniture-maker and designer Johann Michael Hoppenhaupt (1709-c.1778-86), and especially to his work executed for Schloss Sanssouci in Potsdam around 1750.
A series of related designs for consoles, canapés and commodes was published by Hoppenhaupt around 1753, which can also be linked to a number of items of furniture in the palaces at Potsdam, some of which he is thought to have executed himself.
