Portman
Portman
The intricately carved decoration on this chimneypiece illustrates Robert Adam’s repertoire of neoclassical motifs and his characteristic delicacy. Adam’s aim, in his own words, was ‘to transfuse the beautiful spirit of antiquity with novelty and variety’. The Adam style, which swept through England during the 1760s and 1770s, quickly spread to France and the USA and is still fashionable today.
The Portman is available in a variety of marbles. For more information, please contact our sales team here.
