Another excellent presentation by Dr. Helen in both content and execution.

Beautiful video and impeccable presentation by Dr. Jacobsen. It was about time that someone vindicated the magnificent craftsmanship and quality of many XIX century pieces of furniture. Listening to some arrogant "experts" you would believe that nothing beautiful was created during the XIX century. Incidentally, I found out that £ 3,000 of 1860 would be worth today £ 388,000; a fairly decent price for such gorgeous piece of furniture!

Excellent! I hope more videos will be produced by Dr. Jacobsen.

A masterpiece of French craftsmanship. Being a copy makes no difference to its aesthetic appeal. It is one my favorite pieces at the Wallace. Love to have it in my study. Thank you. One question: Why are the porcelain panels Wedgewood cameos and not Serves panels with say a bouquet of flowers?

[@MD_80906]

Originally in the eighteenth century the panels were the monogram of the king from the Sevres factory and after the french revolution it was replaced by these wedgwood cameos
