專家說明
The sideboard-table, supported in the Roman manner by chimaerical griffin monopodia, was popularised by Thomas Hope's Household Furniture and Interior Decoration, London, 1807, pl. VII. Hope's publication pl.XXVI also provided the source for these chimaera, comprising eagle-winged and ram-horned lions, which originated with a marble antiquity belonging to the Rome-based sulptor Cavaceppi.
