專家說明

These china-railed shelves have golden palm-wrapped brass pillars tied by pateraed braces in the Pompeian tripod-altar fashion that was popularised by Thomas Hope in his guide, Household Furniture and Interior Decoration, 1807. Two bookcases of similar architecture were supplied to Charles Pierrepont, 2nd Earl Manvers (d.1860) of Thoresby Hall, Nottingham (see Christie's London 6 April, 1995 lot 155).
