Sala de tapeçaria de Croome Court

1763–71
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 514
Desenhado em 1763, o teto em estuque da sala, com seu circular ornamental e seus troféus entre guirlandas, exemplifica o estilo vigoroso dos primeiros anos de Robert Adam. Nesse mesmo ano, o sexto conde de Coventry encomendou as tapeçarias de seda e lã que vemos nas paredes da oficina de Jacques Neilson na Manufatura Real dos Gobelins, em Paris. Os medalhões com cenas da mitologia clássica simbolizando os elementos são baseados nos desenhos de François Boucher. As molduras douradas das cadeiras e sofás foram feitas em Londres em 1769 por John Mayhew e William Ince. As coberturas das tapeçarias foram feitas na manufatura de Gobelins.
