Purpose
Variant preliminary design and finished drawings for a chimneypiece for the drawing room, 1770, Adam volume 22/259 as executed (3)
Notes
The chimneypiece in the drawing (tapestry) room was executed in accordance with Adam volume 22/259. The design shown in Adam volume 22/257 was rejected, and reused in the same year in the Duchess of Bolton’s dressing room at Bolton House, Southampton Row, London. The chimneypiece was installed in the drawing room in 1774, affixed to the seventeenth-century spine wall of the house, and it survives in situ.
