Middle Bedroom

A marvel in marble, this unusual chimneypiece is inspired by a mid-1790s original in the Middle Bedroom at Kenwood House, possibly carved by John Bingley. It features beaded circular patterns with central paterae on frieze, and pairs of pilasters with composite capitals on the jambs supporting finely carved cherubs. Pictured with it is our Blenheim fire basket with its open-fret brass apron. Our Reeded cast-iron panels discreetly echo the pilasters' hand-carved fluting.
