拍品專文

We are grateful to Charlotte Gere for suggesting that these drawings were drawn up  by a company like Wright and Maitland, leading 18th century revivalist furniture makers in the 1880’s. Many of the drawings are annotated in code for a decorating firm and are evidently intended for large urban dwellings.
