About the Item

Rare pair of carved oak newel post figures probably depicting Sir Robert and Lady Brown, circa 1735. He is depicted with a page boy haircut, wearing a lace collar and holding a staff, she wearing a waisted vest over a laced collared dress and with arms lacking, both having flattened heads where the handrail stood, both with great color and surface. Provenance: removed from the ballroom staircase of Wiggenhall St. Mary, Norfolk. Sir Robert was granted a baronetcy by George II, for whom he served as paymaster and as an agent in Venice.
