Designs for a pier glass and overmantel mirror frame for the bedchamber, 1778, possibly executed (2)

Harris notes similarities between Adam volume 20/173 and one made for Coventry House in Piccadilly (SM Adam volume 20/68), dating to 1770. The design for Coventry House was executed and is currently held in the collections of the V & A (W.6- 1991).

Harris credits the execution of the Apsley House mirrors and girandoles to Sefferin Nelson, the carver and gilder appointed to execute Adam’s designs for Derby House. She notes a significant payment of £259 made to Nelson from Lord Bathurst’s account at Drummond’s, dating to 1779.
