THE PROPERTY OF A LADY
The following two lots are in the French 18th century tradition combining stylistic elements from 'tous les Louis', that is Louis XIV, XV and XVI periods. They were almost certainly made with British aristocratic taste of the mid-19th Century in mind, which was showing a renewed interest in the Ancien Régime. Firms such as the Anglo-French firm of Charles Mellier & Co. Druce & Co. and Wright & Mansfield were among London's most fashionable cabinet-makers and decorators refurbishing and embellishing interiors in Grosvenor Square, London and Manderston, Berwickshire, properties of Sir James Miller, and also fitting up the dining-room at Farmleigh, a Guinness home near Dublin (Mellier), and Guisachan, near Inverness and the Louis XVI-style suite of rooms at Brook House, London (Wright & Mansfield).
