The Adam Collection comprises designs for six chimneypieces from drawings from the office of Robert and James Adam. The collection is made under exclusive licence from Sir John Soane’s Museum, which holds the largest collection of drawings by the great 18th century architect.
Designed in 1777 for the 3rd Duke of Roxburghe for the library at Roxburghe House, Hanover Square, London. The Duke was a renowned bibliophile who commissioned Adam to extend and re-model his townhouse, in part to create further library space for his collection of over 10,000 volumes.
