Stanza degli arazzi di Croome Court

1763–71
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 514
Progettato nel 1763, il soffitto di stucco di questa stanza, con la modanatura ornamentale a forma di ruota e i trofei di ghirlande, esemplifica il vigoroso stile degli anni giovanili di Robert Adam. Quello stesso anno il sesto conte di Coventry commissionò gli arazzi di seta e lana che vediamo alle pareti alla bottega di Jacques Neilson presso la Manifattura reale dei Gobelins a Parigi. I medaglioni, che raffigurano scene ispirate alla mitologia classica che simboleggiano gli elementi, si basano su disegni di François Boucher. Le cornici dorate delle sedie e dei divani furono eseguite a Londra nel 1769 dai mobilieri John Mayhew e William Ince. Le coperture degli arazzi furono fabbricate dalla manifattura dei Gobelins.
