with radial bars, scrolled foliate details and floral bosses,
SOLD OUT
Out of stock
The quintessential Georgian overdoor fanlight is something that these days is rare to come to the market. It was a clever to solution to the conundrum of how to get light into the hallway of the cheek-by-jowel Georgian terrace house. The habit of adopting different patterns within the same terrace is thought to have enabled differentiation in an age before street numbering had been invented.

The Bells,

Framed Chromolithograph by APE (Carlo Pellegrini) picturing the stage actor and impresario Henry Irving. Born into humble circumstances in the West Country, Irving went on to establish himself as a giant of the West End. During his long residence at the Lyceum, beginning with his production of The Bells in 1871, he cemented his own and his theatre company's position as the keeper and type of the English classical theatrical tradition. Irving would later became the model for Bram Stoker's Dracula and was the first actor to be conferred the honour of Knighthood. Irving died on stage in 1905 after giving the final lines of Beckett by Alfred Lord Tennyson ''Into thy hands, O Lord, into thy hands". His ashes are interred in Westminster Abbey, the first cremation prior to internment permitted at the Abbey.£220
