P Scheemakers (1691-1781), one carved with the Sacrifice of
Iphigenia (after the Medici vase in the Uffizi) and the other
with the Sacrifice of Apollo. The two outer urns are by
Laurent Delvaux (1696-1778), one with a relief of a Bacchanalian
and the other with a heroic subject. They were made before 1728
for Wanstead House, Essex, sold 1822 and acquired for Leigh
