專家說明

S. Jamar designed and produced furniture in such a confident French Empire style, he must have been trained, if not brought up on the Continent. By 1819 he was at 29 Wardour Street and advertised his works as 'equal to any made in Paris'. A closely related fall-front secretaire not only bearing his stamp but also a trade label reading 'Jamar, French cabinet maker; manufactures all sorts of French furniture in the most fashionable manner, 29 Wardour Street, Soho', was sold, from the property of Sir Antony Hornby, in these rooms, 19 November 1970, lot 46. His nationality is still unknown, however, although the lock plate of another closely related secrétaire à abattant is engraved 'S Jamar Cabinet Maker to Louis Bonaparte King of Holland' (sold, Sotheby's London, 5 May 1989, lot 131).
