專家說明

The form of this metamorphic armchair/library steps (fauteuil en escabeau) is based on a design by the Catherine Street firm of Morgan and Sanders first published in Ackermann's Repository of the Arts in July 1811 (P. Agius, Ackermann's Regency Furniture and Interiors, Marlborough, 1984, p. 60, pl. 29). This chair was 'considered the best and handsomest article ever yet invented, where two complete pieces of furniture are combined in one - an elegant and truly comfortable armchair and a set of library steps'.
