A fine statuary marble Regency chimneypiece in the manner of Samuel Wyatt (1737-1807). The plain shelf sits over a slender panelled frieze, which is flanked by stylised oak leaf endblocks over jambs finely carved with ribbon tied oak leaves and acorns. This chimneypiece is reminiscent of the work of Samuel Wyatt, as the carving on the jambs is remarkably similar to his chimneypiece designed for Sundridge Park.
English, c.1805.

An imposing Regency statuary marble chimneypiece with a bold geometric design to the frieze and the jambs, and laurel wreath endblocks. This strikingly modern design embedded within the Greek Revival style is very much the antecedent to the Art Deco, despite being designed over a hundred years before the modernist style. This chimneypiece is of exceptional quality.
Irish, circa 1820.

A fine and large French terracotta figure by Mandeville-Bernier (1905-1935). The figure is beautifully modelled in the neoclassical style, with exquisitely rendered hair and drapery.
This figure can be displayed either outside or in, and possibly could be used as a fountain.
