EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite dining room at Shardeloes, Buckinghamshire, as depicted in Eileen Harris' book "The Country Houses of Robert Adam". The image showcases the remarkable craftsmanship and attention to detail that defined Robert Adam's architectural style. Commissioned by William Drake in 1759, Robert Adam was tasked with completing the house originally designed by Stiff Leadbetter. The dining room itself dates back to around 1761-64 and is adorned with Adam's earliest panels of stucco grotesques. These intricate plasterwork decorations feature foliate motifs and garlands, adding a touch of elegance to the space. The photograph beautifully captures the neo-classical architecture and Georgian influences present in this grand country house. It offers viewers a glimpse into the opulent interior decor of an eighteenth-century stately home. Captured by an English photographer from Bridgeman Images, this print allows us to appreciate not only the historical significance but also the artistic beauty found within these walls. The monochromatic tones add a timeless quality to the image, emphasizing its connection to both past and present. Whether you are an admirer of architectural history or simply appreciate fine photography, this print serves as a stunning reminder of the enduring allure of country houses like Shardeloes.
