Robert and James Adam office drawings
- Town houses
  - London
    - Mansfield Street, London: designs for interior decoration of eight houses, built as a speculation by Robert and James Adam, 1772-75 (35)
      - Mansfield Street, number 7

Finished drawing for a ceiling for the back drawing room for Joseph Rose, 1772, as executed (1)

This ceiling was executed in accordance with Adam's drawing, and survives in situ, albeit with some of the medallions replaced with plaster roses incorporating electrical light fittings.

The chimneypieces in this house are roughly contemporary with the ceilings, but were reclaimed from elsewhere and installed in 1934.
