Specialist note

This firegrate can be related to an example in Temple Newsam cast with the name 'T. Elsley' (C. Gilbert, Furniture at Temple Newsam House and Lotherton Hall, vol. I pp. 151-2, fig. 187). Thomas Elsley produced a pattern book of 94 designs for brass fittings in 1933 (N. Goodison, 'The Victoria and Albert Museum's collection of Metal-work pattern books', Furniture History, vol. XI, 1975, p. 25).
