專家說明

The Roman bacchic-headed sarcophagus grate is designed in the early 19th century French/antique or Grecian fashion with its obelisk-finialed basket supported by Grecian-scrolled and acanthus-wrapped pillars terminating in 'Venus' shell-enriched feet.
The design for this grate was published in an 1811 trade catalogue, printed by Messrs M.& G.Skidmore, Founders and Stove grate manufacturers of High Holborn and Coppice Row, Clerkenwell. A related grate, with lion-monopodia pillars, furnished the Outer Library at Attingham Park, Shropshire (illustrated in situ in Country Life, 5 February 1921, p. 160).
