Architectural drawings by Robert Adam, 1754-92
From the Victoria & Albert Museum
Side table
In the style of Robert Adam (British, Scottish) ca. 1780
Set of fourteen side chairs
Designer Robert Adam British, Scottish Supplied by Thomas Chippendale, British ca. 1772
Mahogany, covered in modern red morocco leather
Chippendale executed this set of Neoclassical mahogany dining chairs for Goldsborough Hall, in Yorkshire, which belonged to Daniel Lascelles, younger brother of Chippendale's most extravagant patron, Edwin Lascelles, of nearby Harewood House. The set, which originally included fifteen chairs, remained at Goldsborough until 1929, when it was removed to Harewood House, from whence it was sold in 1976. The chairs represent one of Chippendale's most elegant designs: their tapering backs have arched top rails and molded sides headed by beaded paterae and leaf finials; fan-shaped splats with a central patera are encircled and flanked by pendent bellflower swags; and the square, tapering paneled legs are decorated with pendent husks. He produced several sets of these chairs with minor variations, including one, which has not survived, for Lansdowne House, in London. The present set, which has been reupholstered as it was originally with red morocco leather, re-creates in the Museum's dining room from Lansdowne House the unity of design between the furniture and Robert Adam's decoration, which was one of the most notable aspects of this great Neoclassical interior.

The Ante Room is dominated by twelve Ionic columns veneered in green scagliola. The arrangement of the columns gives the room a square effect. The deep vivid colours in this room are a complete contrast to the subtle colours of the Great Hall.
In 1755 Robert Adam began a long association with Charles-Louis Clérisseau, first as his student later as his employer. Clérisseau assisted Adam in his study of ancient architectural and decorative forms and their adaptation to a new architectural style. Adam also led an expedition to Dalmatia in order to record the precise measurements of Diocletian's palace at Spalato (now Split). The results of this were published in 1764 under the title The Ruins of Spalato. He settled in London at the end of the 1750s.The picture shows the Ante Room.
Шотландский архитектор и дизайнер. Часть британской семьи архитекторов, работавших в 17-18 веках, он является сыном шотландского архитектора Уильяма Адама-старшего (1689-1748). Он считается самым важным архитектором конца восемнадцатого века в Англии. Вместе со своим братом Джеймсом (1730-1794) он преобразовал палладианский неоклассицизм в Англии в воздушный, легкий, элегантный стиль, который носит их имя (стиль Адама). Его основные архитектурные работы включают общественные здания (особенно в Лондоне), а его проекты использовались для интерьеров таких загородных особняков, как Syon House в Миддлсексе (сейчас в Хаунслоу, Лондон).

18th c waistcoats hold an endless appeal for me, esp. when connected to #architecture Here, an English waistcoat (1780-90), replete w/architectural ornament & embroidered w/silk & chenille, graceful ribbons & appliquéd, painted silk medallions would be at home in a #RobertAdam or #CharlesBulfinch interior. @V_and_A
