- Although these columns (F289 and F290) have in the past been catalogued as being late eighteenth-century, they are more likely to be late nineteenth-century because of the rather free interpretation of the Corinthian order with their cylindrical rather than square pedestals and with acanthus scrolls applied to the base of the columns. They are listed on a bill to Sir Richard Wallace from Alfred 1er Beurdeley dated 5 March 1872 and are thus likely to have been made in the Beurdeley workshop. They were displayed in Lady Wallace’s Boudoir in Hertford House.
