The enrichments of the pier-glass reflect the George III 'antique' fashion promoted by Robert and James Adam's Works in Architecture, 1773, and derive from various patterns for 'Square Glasses' and for Girandoles illustrated in Messrs. A. Hepplewhite & Co.'s The Cabinet-Maker and Upholsterer's Guide, 1788, pls. 114, 116 and 117. Hepplewhite noted `...square glasses .... the shape most in fashion at this time, they should be made to nearly fill the pier'.
