The Roxburghe
Designed in 1777 for the 3rd Duke of Roxburghe for
the library at Roxburghe House, Hanover Square,
London. The Duke was a renowned bibliophile who
commissioned Adam to extend and re-model his
townhouse, in part to create further library space
for his collection of over 10,000 volumes.
Shown in statuary marble with the Osterley brass
fire basket and black slate hearth and slips.
