Sgabello chairs at the Stone Gallery The shell-backed chairs are of an Italian form known as 'sgabello'. They were made in the 1630s, probably for Holland House in London by Franz Cleyn, an influential designer who also run the royal tapestry works at Mortlake.

One of terracotta figures at the Hall The terracotta figures in the wall niches are the most unusual feature of the Hall. They are the work of Victor Alexander Sederbach, an Austrian or German modeller or stovemaker, who produced them at Lacock in 1755. The flamboyantly Baroque style of the figures is a little incongruous in a Gothic hall, but evidently pleased Ivory Talbot. He recommended Sederbach to friends, but nothing else by this mysterious sculptor is known.

The Hall The four mid-18th-century yew-wood tables were probably ordered by Ivory Talbot specially for this hall, as they are in a matching Gothic style. The chairs are of the same date. Some of chair was deliberately not upholstered, to make it more hard-wearing and to discourage casual visitors from lingering.
