Object history | Poynter was invited to tender for the decoration of the V&A Grill Room in November 1865. The grill itself, for which designs including this one were prepared, bears inscriptions reading ‘EJP / INVENIT / 1866’, indicating that Poynter designed the grill in 1866. The dating of this design to 1871 at the time of acquisition, collectively with object numbers E.5272-1919 to E.5284-1919, is therefore inaccurate (see 1919 V&A Accession Register). |
