    - Grosvenor Square, number 18 (later 19), London: executed and unexecuted designs for interior decoration for the 8th Earl of Thanet, 1764-66 (14)

Finished drawing and record drawing for a mirror frame for the saloon, 1764, as executed (2)

This executed mirror frame for the saloon - now lost - was designed by James Adam in 1764. According to Harris this was one of James's earliest designs following his Grand Tour, and is the only design for furniture within the Adam drawings collection at the Soane Museum which is signed by him. Harris describes the design as 'spotty and poorly integrated'.
