File:WLA vanda glass drawing room Northumberland House.jpg
Summary
Part of the glass drawing room, Northumberland House, London
Designed from 1770; made 1773-1775
This panelling was from the glittering drawing room, panelled entirely in glass, that the architect Robert Adam designed for the 1st Duke and Duchess of Northumberland at their London house in the Strand. The scheme was based on the richly ornamented interiors of ancient and modern Rome. Adam used glass backed with coloured pigments and metal shavings to imitate the porphyry of Roman decoration and copied plaster and painted decoration in gilded metal, cast from moulds.

Museum No. W.5-1955
