About this piece
back to topA set of four antique Jacobean style English oak pilasters.
Dating to circa 1850, these impressive panels are carved with mannerist ornaments and strapwork.
The original finish creates a natural finish that adds to the neoclassical style and highlights the artistic craftsmanship.
As a set, they would make striking decorative wall art for a period home looking to add style and grandeur.
Provenance: Hassop Hall, Derbyshire
Hassop Hall
Hassop Hall was the home of the Eyre family from the late 15th century and was entirely rebuilt in 1827-1833.
Francis Eyre had the title of the Earl of Newburgh in 1814 before the estate passed to Col C S Leslie of Balquhain by marriage in the mid 19th century.
During the Civil War Rowland Eyre turned it into a Royalist garrison and the house was the scene of several battles.
In more recent years, it was owned by the Chapman family, who it as a wedding and conference venue, while keeping the interiors elegantly maintained. Now it has become a luxury family home with its dwellers continuing to keep its history alive.
These pilasters are an element of the hall’s story looking to find a new home where their history and aesthetic will too be appreciated.
