Known as the "monkey" doors, this doorway and its companion in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, were 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 1752.
