Description
The Fox Rotunda is a monument dating from around 1780, originally designed as a fountain at Hyde Park Corner in London. It features a Portland limestone cupola supported by four Ionic columns on a circular plinth, topped with a marble bust of George IV. Beneath the cupola is a square pedestal that holds a marble dish, with fountains on each face designed in the shape of brass dolphins. A painted lead fox is positioned on the pedestal. The bust of the Prince Regent was added to the cupola after the rotunda was relocated to the Knightsbridge salerooms of Richard Tattershall around 1865. The rotunda was moved to its current location around 1960.
