The eagle-born frame with its Grecian reeded and palm-flowered torus moulding corresponds to the George IV French style after the antique manner, such as the curtain-pelmet patterns provided by John Stafford, Upholsterer of Bath, for Rudolph Ackermann's The Repository of Arts, 1820. The Norwich carver, gilder and looking-glass manufacturer William Freeman is listed in London Street in the 1820s. His previous address at No. 2 London Lane, features on a labelled candelabrum-stand provided for Felbrigg Hall, Norfolk, while he was in partnership with Jeremiah Freeman (d.1823), (The Dictionary of English Furniture Makers 1660-1840, Leeds, 1986, p. 21).
