Purpose

Design for a chimneypiece and designs for a fire grate for the great drawing room, 1779 (4)

Notes

A chimneypiece of a similar design survives intact and in situ. The chimneypiece frieze, however, appears to be missing its central tablet depicting putti. It was possibly removed at a later date, or the design itself was altered and simplified upon execution.
