拍品專文

The grand neoclassical design of these bergères is derived from a design published by the acclaimed early 19th century French architect-designers Charles Percier, (1764-1838) and Pierre François Léonard Fontaine (1762-1853) in the 1812 edition of their influential work Recueil des Décorations Intérieures.
A related design for a bergère is illustrated in Georg Himmelheber, Deusche Mobelvorlagen 1800-1900, P. 395, ill.2242, and a further pair of Biedermeier examples, almost certainly based on the sale Percier and Fontaine design, were sold anonymously, Sotheby's New York, 19 May 2006, lot 173.
