Grate
The claw-and-ball feet, fluted columns, and urn-and-flame finials on this coal grate exhibit close similarities to Chippendale-style furniture. Indeed, Thomas Chippendale illustrated designs for coal grates in his Gentleman and Cabinetmaker’s Director, noting: "I would recommend the ornamental Parts to be of wrought Brass, and as they may be made to take off, will be easily cleaned."
