Pair of pedestals supporting fruit bowl vases. Late C17.
Incorporated into early C18 garden designed by Royal Gardeners
to Queen Anne, London and Wise, for Thomas Coke of Melbourne
Hall with work carried out by William Cooke of Walcot. Stone.
Two similar pedestals and vases. Each has a plain pedestal on
stepped plinth, with large lattice work basket over containing
