Robert and James Adam office drawings
- Town houses
  - London
    - Buckingham House (later Buckingham Palace), The Mall, London: designs for the interior, an illumination, rebuilding the palace, and a pianoforte, for King George III and Queen Charlotte, 1761-1763, and 1780 (25)

Full size working drawings for the ornamental panels of a pianoforte case for Queen Charlotte, 1780, probably unexecuted (4)

This design recalls that made by Adam for Catherine the Great, Empress of Russia (illustrated in the Works, I:v:pl. viii), but is even more richly ornamented. There is no evidence that this pianoforte was executed.
