Design for a watch chain for Lady Shelburne, c1765-71 (1)

It is not known if this watch chain was executed. The drawing has been dated to after 1765 as that was the year in which Lord Shelburne married Lady Sophia Carteret.

As the watch chain is not relevant to Adam's architectural designs for either Lansdowne House or Bowood, it has been included here under 'other'.
