Lot Essay

This chimneypiece was removed from Romney's House, Hampstead, built in 1797 for the portrait artist George Romney. The house was subsequently enlarged in 1807 for use as the Hampstead Assembly Rooms. In 1929 the house was altered and redesigned to convert it into a domestic dwelling by and for Clough Williams-Ellis, the architect best known as the creator of the Italianate village of Portmeirion in North Wales.
