content: Chimneypiece design framed by wood paneling on either side. There is a large over mantel mirror, with a frame supporting candelabra and putti playing wind instruments. The wood paneling on either side features mascarons; above each of them is a wall bracket held aloft by grotesque figures and supporting a vase. At the top of the panels are rondels with mythological scenes: on the left, a draped woman playing a lyre and a young boy playing a lute; on the right, two satyrs playing horns with a goat behind them. The plate is not signed or numbered.
