Stove, Mantelpiece, and Looking-Glass for the Sultan of Turkey, 1858. 'We have engraved a design of Grates and Mantlepieces, with mirrors in carved frames, richly gilt in mat and burnished gold, executed by Alderman Copeland, of Stoke-upon-Trent and New Bond-street, for the palace of the Sultan on the Bosphorus, to be placed in the Saloon Mahben. The whole of the mantelpieces are composed of fine porcelain slabs, richly decorated with groups of fruit and flowers, &c., mounted in ormolu mouldings and enrichments. The vases on the mantelpieces are also of fine porcelain, decorated with coloured grounds and rich elaborate designs in mat, chased and burnished gold. The grates, hearths, and fenders were manufactured by Messrs. Stuart and Smith, of Sheffield'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858.
