Notes
The chimney-piece design is characterised by twin pilasters with acanthus brackets supporting the shelf and an opening framed by torus and astragal mouldings. Peter Mathias Vangelder (1739-1809) was a distinguished statuary particularly good at carving foliage (R. Gunnis, Dictionary of British sculptors 1660-1851, and ed [1964]).
