Sir William Chambers' "Design for a Chimney-piece, for the Saloon, Milton Park, Northamptonshire" (1770-1776) is a detailed architectural drawing that exemplifies the Neoclassical style prevalent in the 18th century. The design showcases the use of classical elements, such as fluted columns, a frieze adorned with urns and sculpted faces, and a pediment, to create a sense of grandeur and order. This drawing is a testament to Chambers' significant contribution to British architecture, showcasing his meticulous attention to detail and masterful understanding of classical forms.
