The seldom seen Bristol Room in the Central Library is a replica of the reading room from the old library on King Street, as it would have looked circa 1740. The grandest of its fixtures is this magnificent oak overmantel, carved by the celebrated sculptor and woodworker Grinling Gibbons (1648-1721)

Bristol Libraries @bristollibraries.bsky.social · 12/05/2026

Thanks! The only difference in the new room is that there are now windows either side of this piece. In the old library, there were bookshelves either side of it. Now, those same book shelves are on the opposite wall, framing the door instead
