Henry Dixon & Son, Ashburnham House - The Dining Room

Ashburnham House - The Dining Room, ca.1882

From: Henry Dixon & Son

RA Collection: Art

"The Dining Room

The alcove is evidently by a later architect than Jones. This also is figured in Ware's book in an engraving (pl.23), the only one in the book to which no architect's name is attached. The omission is certainly intentional, and Ware's practise in this matter leads me to the inference that he intended thus to indicate that the design was his own. It is thus that, in his Complete Body of Architecture, his own designs for Chesterfield House and other buildings are given anonymously."

The above description, by Alfred Marks, was taken from the letterpress which accompanies the photographs.
