专家说明

The turned stretcher and sabre legs with distinctive rounded appendages corresponds to furniture associated with Louis le Gaigneur, cabinet-maker and `Buhl manufacturer' who was listed at 19 Queen Street, Edgware Road in 1815-1816. One of a few firms who revived brass-inlaid patterns reminiscent of the ancien regime, Le Gaigneur enjoyed the patronage of the Prince of Wales, later George IV for whom he supplied two library tables now at Windsor Castle. A related library table is illustrated in C. Claxton Stevens and S. Whittington, Eighteenth Century English Furniture: The Norman Adams Collection, Woodbridge, 1983, pp.170-171. Another library table with the same base and distinctive lozenge and anthemion mounts was sold anonymously, Sotheby's London, 7 July 2000, lot 100, £18,900 inc' prem'.
