Provenance
Formerly in the bedrooms and corridors at Easton Neston and almost certainly commissioned for the remodelling of these rooms by Col Sir Thomas Fermor Hesketh, 7th Bt. at the end of 19th century.
Condition
Colour of gilding less green, more golden and attractive than in the catalogue photograph. The chains are a different colour gilding to the rest.
