Notes
This was copied by the same neat sloping office hand as another copy of a design for a chimney-piece at Stratton [SM D1/15/7]. This Stratton 'eating room' design also employs double pilasters with ormolu paterae as well as the 'guttae' found in the Coleorton drawing room chimney-piece design ([SM D1/15/12]). It was a sensible office practice to make copies of standard details, such as chimney-pieces, that might then be re-used.
