Record drawings for friezes for the hall, galley, staircase, library, library doors, dining room, drawing room, lady’s dressing room, and little dressing room, ND, all but that for the staircase as executed (3)

It is not possible to assign a date range to these drawings as they are included in a volume of record drawings: drawn directly onto the page rather than pasted in. As such this collection of record drawings appears to have been produced as a complete work and may have been compiled some time after the work at Mellerstain.

With the exception of that for the staircase, all of the friezes for Mellerstain shown in these three drawings (Adam volume 53/49-51) were executed in accordance with Adam’s design and survive in situ. Adam’s designs for the barrel-vaulted ceiling and frieze for the staircase were not executed owing to an argument with Baillie.
