Description
Retrieved from behind a metal cornice, in a north room on the first floor at Richmond Villa, Sydney. Richmond Villa was designed in a Gothic-revival style by Colonial Architect Mortimer Lewis as his own residence and constructed in 1849. Originally located behind the NSW Parliament House in Macquarie Street, Sydney, it was dismantled and reconstructed in Kent Street, Sydney in 1976 in order to make room for extensions to Parliament House.
