Design for a chimneypiece for the hall, 1763, executed with alterations (1)

The hall chimneypiece was executed without the additional profile volutes shown in the stiles of the drawing, and with urns in the capitals. It is presumed that this chimneypiece was salvaged and sold (along with the other Adam chimneypieces) prior to the demolition of 1955.
