Framed Print of The International Exhibition: white marble mantelpiece and bas-relief executed... 1862. Creator: Unknown
The International Exhibition: white marble mantelpiece and bas-relief executed by the late J. Thomas, 1862. This chaste and elegant mantelpiece was executed in pure white marble by the late Mr. John Thomas...The figures on the spandrils and centre represent Oberon and Titania, from A Midsummer Night's Dream, attended by Puck and one of the little elfs bearing a bullrush, Puck with the ass's head. The figures are tastefully drawn and executed. Above the jambs are two small heads, one on each side, exquisitely moulded, almost emblematical of Peace and War, for one holds a bunch of wheat, whilst the other is apparently in a great passion. The latter was modelled from the artist's own son, who died in infancy. The stove, which was also designed by Mr. Thomas, is a lovely piece of work in bright steel and encaustic tiles. This portion is from the works of Messrs. Stewart and Smith of Sheffield...The bas-relief hanging above the centre of the mantelpiece does not belong to the work, but is a pleasing idea, nicely carried out, of Little Red Riding Hood, accompanied by the wolf. The stove and mantelpiece were executed for Mr. Charles Lucas, one of the contractors for the Great Exhibition building'. From Illustrated London News, 1862.
