OF REGENCY STYLE, 20TH CENTURY

The festive trophies of garlanded and beribboned baskets that hang from bacchic lion medallions, relate in part to Messrs. A. Hepplewhite & Co.'s 'Roman' pilaster patterns for 'Pier Glasses' in The Cabinet-Maker and Upholsterer's Guide, 1788, pl. 118. They had been copied from the architect, Robert Adam's design for a pier-glass cresting at Kenwood, London, as illustrated in The Works in Architecture of Robert and James Adam, 1774, Vol. I, pl. 8, no.2.
