Purpose

Designs and finished drawings for the great drawing room door panels, August 1774, Adam volumes 46/61, 24/261, 24/262, 24/264 executed (5)

Notes

The door panels for 23 Grosvenor Square were commissioned from Henry Clay, master japanner, and are included in the second volume of The works in architecture of Robert and James Adam (part 1, plate 8). All of these drawings, save Adam volume 24/263, correspond with the panels as shown in the Works. Indeed, Adam volume 24/263 appears to be a design for the middle panel of the doors, but makes use of elements from both the great drawing room and Etruscan dressing room door panel designs.
