Summary
A picture hang. Wall Scheme for anti-chamber, c.1704. The wall-scheme here relates to the Antichamber in the first floor of the West Wing, today known as the Rose Bedroom. The scheme was used to indicate the measurements of the hangings for this room, and that 's probably the reason why the back door shown on Ground plan #15, isn't drawn here, because the hanging would cover this door. Pen and brown ink, some inscriptions in pencil.
Provenance
Part of the Windham Collection. The hall and contents were bequeathed to the National Trust in 1969 by Robert Wyndham Ketton-Cremer (1906-1969)
