Sala de tapices de Croome Court

1763–71
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 514
Diseñado en 1763, el cielorraso de yeso de este salón, con su rosetón ornamental y sus trofeos entre guirnaldas, es un ejemplo del estilo de juventud de Robert Adams, caracterizado por su vigor. Ese mismo año, el sexto conde de Coventry encargó las colgaduras murales de seda y lana al taller de Jacques Neilson en la Manufactura Real de los Gobelinos de París. Escenas inspiradas en mitos clásicos simbolizan los elementos en los medallones basados en diseños de François Boucher. Los ebanistas John Mayhew y William Ince realizaron los armazones dorados de los sillones y canapés en Londres, en 1769. El tapizado del mobiliario también se ejecutó en la Manufactura de los Gobelinos.
