Summary
One of four decorative flat brass cover plates of circular form with a scalloped edge. An overlying swivel plate, of the same form, bears an embossed arrow indicating the direction to open the cover. This would have given access to the winding mechanism for the window blinds which are no longer in situ.
Provenance
Purchased from the estate of the late Lord Wraxall with the assistance of the NHMF and donations from members and supporters.
