Prize plate - "The Cup", 1844. Creator: Unknown
Prize plate - "The Cup", 1844. Horseracing trophy given as a prize at Goodwood Racecourse: ...a group in silver, from a design by Mr. F. Howard, the horse being modelled by Mr. Macarty, and the whole executed under the superintendence of Mr. Baily, R.A. The composition represents a well-known passage, in the escape of Charles II, from the Cromwellites, after the defeat of the Royalists, at the battle of Worcester. The passage in the perilous adventures of the "unkingship", is that in which Charles, disguised as a servant, was riding from the house of Col. Lane to the sea-coast, accompanied by Miss Jane Lane, he was almost discovered by a farrier...The group has been manufactured at the establishment of Messrs. Hunt and Co'.

The King's Bed Chamber, Windsor Castle, 1844. Creator: Stephen Sly
The King's Bed Chamber, Windsor Castle, 1844. One of the rooms in the King's State Apartment created for Charles II in the late 1670s. The prevailing colour in the room was light blue, with the picture frames silvered instead of gilded, to harmonize with the general tone. This we think to have been in excellent taste; but the effect was somewhat marred by a carpet, of a pattern too large and florid, both in colour and design, to accord with the rest of the arrangements. The mantel piece is of white marble; the fire place, fenders, &c., of polished steel, with massive standards of bright chased brass, having a most elegant effect'.

Overmantel Decoration, c. 1675-1677. Creator: Grinling Gibbons (British, 1648-1721)
Overmantel Decoration, c. 1675-1677. Grinling Gibbons was born in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, of English parents. After training there as an artist, he came to England in the 1660s, and soon began to work as a sculptor, particularly in wood. One of his first large-scale decorative projects was a series of interiors at Cassiobury Park, the residence of the Earl of Essex near London. On the basis of an early 19th-century watercolour, this overmantel has been identified as one of the decorations for the Green Drawing Room of that house
