Cast iron
Scotland; c. 1824-30
Probably made by the Carron Company, Falkirk, Scotland, founded in 1759 and one of the pioneers in the manufacture of cast decorative iron. The firm had a close connection with the designers John and Robert Adam, producing many of their designs for ironwork. This panel appears in the Carron catalogue for 1824, and in L.N. Cottingham's pattern book of the same year, The Smith and Founders Director. It is still popular today.
