A George III paktong and burnished steel fire-grate
in the manner of Robert Adam
The rectangular cast iron back plate with bowed basket and three crossbars surmounted by turned urn finials, above pierced scrolling leaf engraved apron flanked by ring turned legs, with urn finials, on bracket feet, 64cm wide, 26cm deep, 74cm high.
The design for this fire-grate can be closely compared with an engraving in W.Glossop,The Stove-Grate Makers Assistant, published by I.Taylor in 1771, fig 43 (see C.Gilbert & A.Wells-Cole, The Fashionable Fire Place 1660-1840, p.56).
With similarities to late George II Scottish steel fire-grates by David Robertson circa 1760 supplied for Dumfries House, Ayrshire (see Christie's, Dumfries House, 12 July 2007, lots 16, 59 & 580). See also Christie's, London, 21 January 2010, lot 47 for another of related form.
