Robert Adam Tapestry Room from Croome Court (1763–71)
The Tapestry Room from Croome Court in Worcestershire, designed by Robert Adam in the 1760s, with tapestry-covered walls, a coved plaster ceiling and a classical chimneypiece.
Robert Adam's interiors defined the neoclassical style in Britain, and the Croome Court room is one of the best preserved outside the United Kingdom. Its walls are hung with French tapestries framed by carved and gilded mouldings, below a ceiling of delicate plaster ornament, with a classical chimneypiece. Adam's work relies on thin, precise mouldings and small repeated motifs such as anthemion and husks. Those details translate naturally into Federal and Colonial Revival trim and mantels.
Adam-style framed wall panels with fine CNC-cut mouldings and anthemion frieze appliqués; Heirloom tier.
A custom version typically runs $65–$160 per sq ft of wall, shipped as a kit.
