Stone Chimneypieces
Dyrham
The barrel shaped frieze of this mid-18th century designed chimneypiece features garlands of oak leaves and acorns tied by ribbon, representing peace, prosperity and longevity – carved to celebrate the peace treaty of Aix La Chapelle in 1748. The elegant opening is surrounded by flat panels which contrast with the shaped frieze above, decorated with a continuous double Greek key fret. The in grounds and out grounds sport delicate foliage, while the moulded shelf boasts intricate egg and dart.
