專家說明

The straight forward and simple design of this secretaire which exploits the natural figuring of the mahogany veneer, is distinctively reminiscent of the designs of Bernard Molitor, maître in 1787. The use of Egyptian term capitals with the royal klaft headdress is also very characteristic of Molitor's oeuvre. For further information, see U. Leben, Molitor: Ebéniste from the Ancien Régime to the Bourbon Restoration, London, 1992.
