Notes
This server draws heavily on the refined design vocabulary of the late 18th century Neo-classical movement, particularly the work of Sheraton and Hepplewhite.
This period saw a shift away from Rococo exuberance towards a more classical and refined style.
This server has a purpose-made glass cover.
Provenance
Private Collection.
