Chippendale's Chimney Overmantle. This unique overmantle by Chippendale incorporates an English knotted carpet panel in a manner known as Savonnerie and attributed to Thomas Moore of London.

That it survives in such good condition is testament not only to the stewardship of the house over the centuries but also to Chippendale’s construction methods which allowed for some flexibility, for example by adding cushioning between the backboard and the mirrored plates.
