The Fireplace by Thomas Nicholls features the Three Fates, the trio of Greek goddesses who are depicted spinning, measuring and cutting the thread of life.

Around the room are 58 panels, of which this is one, each depicting one or more unique plants. The plants are wild flowers from the Mediterranean, where Lord Bute spent his winter months each year.

The Murals in the Drawing Room depict Aesop's Fables.
