Purpose

Preliminary designs and design for the Etruscan dressing room door panels, 1774, executed with alterations (3)

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). Those for the Etruscan dressing room correspond with these drawings, save the top-most panel in Adam volume 51/110 which is shown to be part of the door for the great drawing room. The door panels are not known to have survived when the house was demolished in 1862.
