Purpose
Design and finished drawing for urn and pedestal in the dining room, 1780, as executed (2)
Notes
The design was executed as a pair as part of the transformation of the library into a dining room, with the urns lined with zinc to cool wine, and the pedestals opening for storage. The colour scheme matches the green and white of the room.
