Note: This overmantel formed part of Jeckyll's Holland Park commission and other pieces from this interior can now be found in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Another of Jeckyll's major commissions was the dining room at Frederick Leyland's house in Prince's Gate, made famous by James McNeil Whistler's 'Peacock' panelled decoration.
