Lot Essay

The shape of these fenders is the same as that of the integral fenders on the chimneypieces in the Large Dining Room that were supplied in 1813 by William Bullock with mounts almost certainly by Vulliamy.
These fenders were not in the Saloon in the 1940s and 1950s but may be those just visible in the photographs taken before Lord Camrose bought the house in 1935. His son replaced the chimneypieces in the Saloon during the 1960s and presumably brought these chimneypieces into the room then.
