Inspired by a 1750s design for garden ornaments “in the Chinese taste” from a rare book in Colonial Williamsburg’s library, the Amherst fret-facade pieces will look equally stylish in today’s city flat or suburban house. The burnished pewter-colored fretwork is akin to the fashionable English rococo furniture and silver that wealthy patrons such as Jeffery Amherst--Governor-General of British North America--and (absentee) royal governor of Virginia from 1759-68--would have appreciated.

在殖民地威廉斯堡的藏书馆中，有一本18世纪50年代介绍“中国风”花园装饰设计的珍贵图书，而 Global Views 的这组威廉斯堡阿默斯特系列的设计灵感正是来源于此，毫无疑问，这样的设计出现在当下的都市公寓或郊区别墅里依然时髦。

这种独特的青灰色抛光浮雕细工，与英国上流社会钟爱的洛可可风格的家具和银器颇为相似，深受当时的英国北美总督 Jeffery Amherst 和18世纪60年代的弗吉尼亚州皇家总督的喜爱。
