专家说明

The table's 'picturesque' frame is wrapped by Roman acanthus and embellished with Bacchic lion-masks displayed in shell cartouches, while its voluted truss pilasters terminate in paw feet. Patterns for related marble-topped tables featured in Thomas King's, Specimens of Furniture in the Elizabethan and Louis Quatorze Styles, 1835. Its robust carving can also be related to the work of the Del Vecchio family of Dublin carvers and frame makers (The Knight of Glin, 'Dublin Directories and Trade Labels', Furniture History, 1985, pp. 263-264).
