Robert and James Adam office drawings
- Town houses
  - London
    - Apsley House, Piccadilly, London: plans, elevations, section and designs for the interior, and an elevation for the gatehouse, for the 2nd Earl Bathurst, 1771-1779 (56)

Purpose

Unfinished design, finished drawing and working drawing for a segmental table and table slab for Lady Bathurst's dressing room / third drawing room, 1779, possibly executed (3)

Notes

Adam volume 14/14 refers to the third drawing room also as a lady's dressing room. It is therefore difficult to ascertain whether designs assigned to Lady Bathurst’s dressing room are meant for the third drawing room, or the subsequent room inscribed as a dressing room on the first floor plan (Adam volume 32/102).

It is not known whether this design was executed.

Sir John Soane's collection includes some 30,000 architectural, design and topographical drawings which is a very important resource for scholars worldwide. His was the first architect’s collection to attempt to preserve the best in design for the architectural profession in the future, and it did so by assembling as exemplars surviving drawings by great Renaissance masters and by the leading architects in Britain in the 17th and 18th centuries and his near contemporaries such as Sir William Chambers, Robert Adam and George Dance the Younger. These drawings sit side by side with 9,000 drawings in Soane’s own hand or those of the pupils in his office, covering his early work as a student, his time in Italy and the drawings produced in the course of his architectural practice from 1780 until the 1830s.

Browse (via the vertical menu to the left) and search results for Drawings include a mixture of Concise catalogue records – drawn from an outline list of the collection – and fuller records where drawings have been catalogued in more detail (an ongoing process).
