Sir Watkin's dessert dishes
Robert Adam, together with his brothers, invented a new style known as the ‘Adam style’ based on Neo-classical architecture. Like many architects he was influenced by the Grand Tour, obtaining first hand experience of ancient Rome, demonstrating the influence of the tour on British design.
Did you know?
The fan and shell shapes of the dishes are typical of Neo-classical design, which can also be seen on No. 1 Grosvenor Road, an example of a neo-classical building in Wrexham.
