拍品专文

The use of exotic timbers, such as fustic and amaranth with ebonised border mouldings is a characteristic possibly unique to the Golden Square partnership of Messrs. Mayhew and Ince. A similar combination featured on a commode supplied to George Finch, 9th Earl of Winchilsea and 4th Earl of Nottingham for Burley-on-the-Hill, Rutland, where Mayhew and Ince were the principal suppliers of furniture during the refurbishment of circa 1773-75. The laurel wreath drawer handles, similar to those on the commode, and the turned foot, further reinforce the attribution on stylistic grounds.
