Preliminary design for a girandole for the great drawing room (now the portico room), 1778, possibly executed (1)

Harris credits the execution of the Apsley House mirrors and girandoles to Sefferin Nelson, the carver and gilder appointed to execute Adam’s designs for Derby House. She notes a significant payment of £259 made to Nelson from Lord Bathurst’s account at Drummond’s, dating to 1779.

It is not known whether this design was executed.
