Description: | The offices are designed in a fashionable stripped rectilinear style, the heads form capitals facing one another. They are carved with stylised features, such as their blank eyes, long attenuated noses, and gently undulating hair which disappears into the surrounding stone. The style used is neo-egyptian which contrasts with the classical putto standing in the neo-baroque broken pediment over the first floor window. This figure holds a horn of plenty, signifying the notion of welfare, the purpose of the original occupants of the building. | Subjects: | Other | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Sculptor: Bloye, William James Architect: Cooke, S N | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=6816... | Go to resource |
