Purpose

Working drawings for the eating room chimney-piece, 10 April 1787 (3)

Notes

The three drawings show the same design which has panelled jambs, white and blue marble linings and a shelf with the edges decorated by a running moulding with alternate anthemion and (upright) acanthus motifs that are to be made of 'Composition'. Drawing 26 has roughly pencilled-in kraters (Antique stemmed bowls for mixing wine and water) at each end of the frieze. The eating room has since lost its original chimney-piece.
