Purpose

Record drawing for a ceiling for the round drawing room, 1766, executed to a different colour scheme (1)

Notes

The round drawing room is located in the round tower, in the north-west corner of the house.

The ceiling in the round drawing room was executed in accordance with Adam’s design and remains in situ, but neither of the colour schemes shown on the drawing was used. Instead, the executed ceiling is white with gilded plasterwork.
