拍品专文

The triumphal-arched glass (glace de trumeau), incorporated in an overmantel tablet, reflects the French 'picturesque' style encouraged by the 'India' (Chinese) painted papers imported by Parisian marchands merciers in the mid 18th Century . Exotic and richly polychromed birds perch and fly amongst arched arbours formed by the entwined branches of flowering shrubs.
