Erection date: 1968
Inscription
{On a metal plaque below the left hand relief:}
In 1796 these two Coade stone reliefs were affixed to the Danish-Norwegian consulate in Wellclose Square, Stepney, in 1968 these reliefs were re-erected on this embassy by courtesy of the Greater London Council.
Site: Norwegian Embassy (1 memorial)
SW1, Belgrave Square, 25
Either side of the front door are two small relief friezes of cherubs doing things cherubicly. Â On one side they are painting, sculpting and designing; on the other, farming in a half-hearted way. Â As the post points out, not all Coade stone items were bespoke. Â These certainly look off-the-shelf.
