Purpose

Designs for a pier glass and overmantel mirror frame for the front drawing room, c1789 (2)

Notes

In 1789, Adam also produced designs for the remodelling of Eyre’s country house at Ruscombe. Although the designs produced for 28 Great George Street are undated, it is tempting to suggest that the two schemes are concurrent. The mirror frame designs are of Adam's later style and the scheme cannot predate 1789, as this is the year in which Eyre first appears on the rate books for the property. See scheme notes.
