Purpose

Unfinished designs for hall chairs, 1778, possibly executed (1)

Notes

Both Bolton and Harris attribute this design to Hill Street. The drawings inscription does not record for which property the design was intended. Stylistically, the designs, particularly that for a curule chair, are perhaps a match for the interiors of the hall at Wormleybury (SM Adam volume 50/24). Harris makes comparisons between this design and a preliminary design for Lord Stanley (SM Adam volume 6/157), dated 1774.
