專家說明

With its stylized 'draco' finials and the distinctive English chasing of the mounts, this pot-pourri relates to the work of the English marchand-mercier Edward Holmes Baldock (d.1846). Appointed 'Purveyor of China, Earthenware and Glass to William IV', Baldock was responsible for the formation of many of the greatest 19th Century English collections of French furniture, including those of the Dukes of Buccleuch and Northumberland, the Earl of Lonsdale, William Beckford and George Byng (G. de Bellaigue, 'Edward Holmes Baldock - Part 1', The Connoisseur, August, 1975, p.292). Acting both as a manufacturer and retailer, Baldock's name appears as a buyer in many of the more spectacular public auctions of the 19th Century, and he specialised in selling not only the chefs-d'oeuvres of the Ancien Regime, but also in embellishing existing 18th Century Sèvres and Oriental porcelain.

A pair of Sèvres porcelain pots of circa 1756-79, supplied by Baldock to Walter, 5th Duke of Buccleuch around 1830 with closely related 'draco' mounts, were sold anonymously at Christie's London, 9 December 1993, lot 17.
