拍品专文

This bergere is shown in its present form in the Pillared Hall at Wentworth Woodhouse in an unpublished Country Life photograph of 1924, illustrated in Hall, loc. cit.. It is presumably reduced in depth from an extremely rare form of bergere-daybed such as the earlier one from Kiveton, Yorkshire, later at Hornby Castle in the same county and now at Temple Newsam House, Leeds, and illustrated in C. Gilbert, Furniture at Temple Newsam House and Lotherton Hall, Leeds, 1978, II, no. 322, p. 265.
