Finished drawing for the bedchamber ceiling, 1773; it is not known if this design was executed (1)

The bedchamber was located on the first storey of the house, at the end of the rear wing, above Lord Stanley's dressing room, between the Etruscan dressing room, and a circular closet and the private staircase adjoining Lord Stanley's rooms on the floor below. A plan of the house can be found in the second volume of The works in architecture of Robert and James Adam (part 1, plate 1).

As the house was demolished in 1862, and this ceiling was not illustrated in the Works, it is not known if the bedchamber ceiling was executed in accordance with Adam's extant designs.

What is known, is that the bedchamber, and Lady Stanley's circular closet beyond, were decorated en suite with the adjacent dressing room in the Etruscan style.
