It is not known if this design was executed as there is no known photographic record of the chimneypiece prior to demolition.

The chimneypieces from the front and back drawing rooms of either numbers 1 or 2 Royal Terrace were sold at auction in 1936, but it is not clear from the sale catalogue from which of these two houses they came.

This design is a variant of that designed by Adam in 1769 for the dining parlour at number 25 Grosvenor Square (Adam volume 22/263). The Grosvenor Square design is inscribed in pencil with the words, Body of Building D[cropped] / Front Drawing room 3d [cropped], corresponding with the intended location of this design.
