Title
Interior of a house in New Street
Description
A view of the boarded up Georgian fireplace inside the front room on the ground floor at 5 New Street, City of London. The eighteenth-century ornate fire place contains classical motifs including children holding garlands of flowers with a basket of fruit or vegetables hovering in the centre of the two top side panels. The central panel on the top section of the fireplace contains an oval panel with fan shaped patterns bordering the corners. Within the oval panel is a carriage with babies on two horses pulling a two wheeled carriage surrounded by a garland of flowers with a seated adult or child within the carriage. The two side pieces supporting the top section of the fire place each contain a single panel containing a relief pattern made up of engraved foliage. The fireplace is surmounted by a mantel piece on top of an engraved cornice. Plain doors in built in cupboards either side of the fireplace can be seen below and above the dado rails. A painted beam surmounts the mantel piece. The outline of where the hearth once stood can be seen on the wooden floor. Numbers 5 to 7 New Street which were built in the late eighteenth-century are Grade II listed. It is unknown if the fireplace still survives.
