This design was not executed at number 8 Royal Terrace, and instead was installed at number 10 Royal Terrace where it survived to be photographed by the LCC in 1936. In this room a ceiling was executed which had been designed for the front drawing room at number 10 Royal Terrace (Adam volume 13/39), and survived to be photographed by the LCC in 1936, albeit with the room partitioned down the middle.
