Description
View of the master's parlour stucco ceiling at Old Petwerers' Hall, Lime Street, City of London. An octagonal window sits in the centre of the design surrounded by circular wreaths and more intricate patterns. Wood panelling covers the walls, and books and lamps are visible in the room with a man to the right. The first hall, which was built in 1496, burnt down in the Great Fire of 1666. This detail is from the second hall of 1670 (designed by Sir Christopher Wren in 1668), which was burnt in 1840. This photograph was taken in 1932, the year of its demolition.
