Staircase and Tazza, Lansdown Tower, 1845. Creator: Unknown
Staircase and Tazza, Lansdown Tower, 1845. Interior of an architectural folly built for British art collector William Beckford near Bath, Somerset. It was designed by Henry Goodridge. The house and contents were auctioned after Beckfords death in 1844....the Staircases, is not, in itself, remarkable; but, upon the landing, is a fine specimen of modern art. This is a magnificent colossal vase, of Peterhead granite, highly polished, seven feet high, three feet diameter: the vase is tazza-shaped, on a pillar and pedestal of the same material; on the pedestal are three finely-executed demi-lions in bronze; it is also enriched with bold bronze mouldings. From " Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII
