The pedestals relate to patterns published in A. Hepplewhite and Co.'s Cabinet-Maker and Upholsterer's Guide, 1788, pl. 64, and to a pair of pedestals sold from the collection of the late Prince Littler, Esq., O.B.E., in these Rooms, 18 April 1977, lot 184. The latter's pedestals were also embellished with Palmyra-sunflower medallions. The bronzed plaster figures bear cornucopiae and together are emblematic of Peace and Plenty.
