收藏亮點: Jean Henry Riesener 的秘書

瑪麗-安托瓦內特 (Marie-Antoinette) 參觀了小特里亞農 (Petit Trianon)，從而擺脫了宮廷禮儀的嚴苛要求, a small but perfectly-formed house in the grounds of Versailles that became her personal retreat. This desk was supplied for the Petit Trianon by Riesener, her favourite cabinet-maker, on 8 行進 1783. With exquisite veneer decoration that echoes the flowers grown in the gardens of the Petit Trianon, this piece can be found in the Wallace Collection’s Study.
