Eastlake 的词源

这种家具风格出现在1878年，很多时候只是简化版的哥特式，但在最佳状态下，受到了英国设计师查尔斯·洛克·伊斯特莱克（Charles Locke Eastlake，1836-1906年）及其著作《家庭品味提示》（"Hints on Household Taste"）的启发。

I find American tradesmen continually advertising what they are pleased to call 'Eastlake' furniture, with the production of which I have had nothing whatever to do, and for the taste of which I should be very sorry to be considered responsible [C.L. Eastlake, preface to "Hints on Household Taste in Furniture, Upholstery, and Other Details," 4th ed., London, 1878]

我发现美国的商人们不断地宣传他们所谓的“伊斯特莱克”家具，而我与这种家具的制作完全无关，我也非常不愿意被认为对其品味负责。[查尔斯·洛克·伊斯特莱克，《家庭品味提示：家具、室内装饰及其他细节》，第4版，伦敦，1878年，前言]
