The surmounting illustrated gilded panels depict the Cistercian Abbeys of Whalley and Sawley in Lancashire. The beautifully water gilded frames hold perfectly faded mirror glass, while the views above of Whalley Abbey and Sawley Abbey are surmounted in an elegant coral ground. Wonderful patinated over the last 200 years.
