THE 
IN SILVER GILT AND OXYDIZED. 
HIS Service, intended for the 
decoration of the Dessert 
Table, is designed in the 
Roman-Greco style of art, 
and was manufactured for 
Robert Heath, Esq„ of Bid- 
dulph Grange, North Staf- 
fordshire, by whose kind 
permission it isnowexhibited. 
It is very complete in all its details, com- 
prising centre-piece with tall end pieces 
on plateaux, candelabra, wine coolers, 
and fruit Stands, or compotiers for flowers, 
fruit, or bon-bons. 
The ram’s head, garlands of flowers, 
with the tragic and comic masks, form the 
leading features in the ornamentation, 
which is principally modelled from 
works of art discovered at Hercu 
laneum. 
The entire Service forms a group both 
artistic and effective, and is from designs 
by A. Willms.
