Known as the "monkey" doors, this doorway and its |

designed by the Piedmontese architect Giovanni Battista |
|
Borra (1712 ca. 1786) and executed by the London carver |
|
John Cuenot (d. 1762) for the Great Drawing Room of |
|
Norfolk House, Saint James's Square, London, which was |
|
built for the ninth Duke of Norfolk between 1748 and |
