Cleeve House: the plaster ceiling
Back to Time Period
A single highly elaborate plasterwork ceiling survives at Cleeve House. At its centre is an oval in high relief, inhabited with putti (cherubs); flanking this on each side are pairs of branches of leaves, probably bay leaves. The ceiling dates to c. 1700; the name of the craftsman who made it is unknown.
