Notes

Bolton and King both record the survival of painted pilasters in the great drawing room, executed to this design in flat relief and with a geometrical border. Bolton notes alterations to the pilasters pedestal, which is without ram masks and swags.

This design for pilasters is also evident in the wall-elevations for Adam volume 50/25.
