Streets of London – Auction Mart Coffee Room circa 1811

Auction Mart Coffee Room London circa 1811
from The Repository of arts, literature, commerce, manufactures, fashions and politics

“The present plate exhibits a view of the Coffee-Room, which is well proportioned, and has a very cheerful appearance, though built on a very narrow and gloomy piece of ground. It has two ranges of columns, with corresponding pilasters in imitation of granite, forming a sort of gallery lighted from above. There are two entrances, one in Throgmorton-street, the other from the hall; facing the latter is placed the bar, which is fancifully designed, and looking-glasses placed behind it, give an idea of depth by the reflection of objects.”
