A complete set of six remain in und are probably con-temporary with the building of the forecourt of the Admiralty,Whitehall, by Ripley, in 1726 (Fig. 130).These are of two stout horizontal barsriveted to a back-plate, and bent upwardand welded together in a swan-neckto Support the ring. A panel of anoval and water-leaves and finely workedsupporting scrolls above and below,give them a rich effect.
