The Green Drawing Room(Saloon) looks out on to the
topiary on the South side of the house and beyond that over
the artificial lakes and what remains of the considerable
planting on the islands. Steps lead from the French window
in the Green Drawing Room to the Topiary and the lawns at
the front of the house.The room has been shorn of its
original French furniture; all that remains are the mirrors
and the ceiling. The centrepiece of the ceiling is the
roundel pictured on The
Robert Adam page
This is a detail
from the ceiling of the Green Drawing Room. Shown
is the alternating pattern of ornamental urns and
medallions. Though the ceiling is in fact almost
rectangular, Adam treated it as square and adjusted
the size of the coving to match. |
