Late 18th Century London Town House

Completed project

Our restoration of the first floor front room Chimney-piece within a late 18th Century London townhouse. The Chimney-piece perhaps attributable to the workshop of the Devall family in Little Portland Street.

Details of the piece

Period: 18th Century
A finely carved white marble chimney-piece / fireplace with a centre-piece tablet depicting a classical, relief in the antique, Roman, manner.
Of an Ionic order of architecture, the projecting, inlaid columns and inlaid pilasters generate a similarly substantial blocking projection which draws the eye into the center of the piece.
