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.
