拍品专文

Such winged feet that feature on this firegrate relate to those on a vase pattern invented by the connoisseur collector Thomas Hope whose publication or guide Household Furniture and Interior Decoration, 1807, showed engravings of the interiors at his Duchess Street mansion museum. The vase pattern was included as part of plate XLIX [49] whilst the 'bacchante' masks may have been derived from the series of masks illustrated in the same as plate XXXVII [37].
