ROBERT ADAM FURNITURE

This furniture was designed for Robert Adam's famous Glass Drawing Room in Northumberland House (1773-1776). The Glass Drawing Room was dismantled when Northumberland House was demolished in the 1860s, but some of it was saved. The chimneypiece and furniture can be seen at Syon House, and one of the glittering glass walls from the room is on permanent display in the Victoria & Albert Museum's wonderful new British Galleries. Alongside it is a 1/12 scale model I made for the museum to show what the complete room would have looked like.
