1. Sash windows, all of looking-glass plates, 12 inches by 16 inches in
measure. 2. All the walls of the shop lined up with galley-tiles, and the back shop with galley-tiles in panels, finely painted in forest-work and figures. 3. Two large pier looking-glasses and one chimney glass in the shop, and one very large pier-glass seven feet high in the back shop. 4. Two large branches of candlesticks, one in the shop, and one in the back room. 5. Three great glass lanterns in the shop, and eight small ones. 6. Twenty-five sconces against the wall, with a large pair of silver standing candlesticks in the back room, value £25. 7. Six fine large silver salvers to serve sweetmeats. 8. Twelve large high stands of rings, whereof three silver, to place small dishes for tarts, jellies, &c., at a feast. 9. Painting the ceiling, and gilding the lanterns, the sashes, and the carved work, £55. These, with some odd things to set forth the shop, and make a show, besides small plate, and besides china basins and cups, amounted to, as I am well informed, above £300. |
