| Figure 24 Detail of the crest rail carving on a chair from the same set as the chair illustrated in fig. 21. (Photograph Courtesy of Sotheby’s, Inc. ©2002.) The acanthus leaves emanate from the scroll volutes like those on the appliqué of the desk-and-bookcase illustrated in fig. 23. Both carvings have chip cuts in the scroll hollows and similar arrangement of the leaf elements. |
