The first is a George II design for a chimneypiece in the antique or Roman manner and its freize displays an heroic peace trophy of arms and furled pennants centred by a plumed helmet. The scabbard-like pilasters are enriched with tablets of antique flutes and entwined ribbon-guilloche.
The second drawing is a George II design for a chimneypiece serpentined in the French 'picturesque' manner with its frieze displaying a shell-centred acanthus cartouche, while more foliage issues from the voluted trusses of the canted pilasters. One of the latter is more enriched than the other.
