Mantleshelf
A mantelshelf comprising six parts including three carved garlands, which form swags (one long, two short), and two carved cherubs holding musical instruments, which form supports. The mantelpiece was made for J. F. Green's house, and was carved by one of the last craftsmen to carve figureheads in the Blackwall Yard.
