This corner chimneypiece probably came from the house of one of William III’s courtiers on the Korte Voorhout in The Hague. Chinese porcelain abounds on all of the consoles. Daniël Marot recorded this manner of installation in a number of his prints. The marblized wooden surround of the stokehole comes from another chimneypiece.
