Pair of andirons

Stephen Pilcherd British

Not on view

It has been traditionally thought that these andirons come from Nonsuch Palace, Cheam, Surrey, and were part of a group made for King James I (1566–1625). It is more likely that they were made for a later owner of the palace, Barbara Villiers, Duchess of Cleveland (1640–1709), mistress of King Charles II (1630–1685). The arms are those of the Stuart monarchs.
