Karl Zahn’s design, Kingdom, draws inspiration from the imperfect beauty of nature, particularly the “Burro’s Tail” succulent. Its arching form mimics natural growth patterns, creating a balanced yet subtly asymmetrical aesthetic, highlighting the paradox of our pursuit of flawless settings while craving nature’s imperfections.
In statuary marble. Commissioned by Robert Fellowes for Shotesham Hall in Norfolk in 1790, this chimneypiece has half round reeded jambs and a 'running' frieze of vertical flutes and rosettes.
