Its design conveys a remarkable sense of solidity, evident in the generously proportioned shelf and unusually deep ingrounds. Closer examination reveals the sophistication of its craftsmanship: delicate reed mouldings, crisply carved capitals, and finely judged detailing demonstrate a restrained yet accomplished elegance.
