In dramatic contrast to the Great Hall, the Ante Room or Vestibule is one of Adam's most ingenious and original designs - a powerful evocation of Imperial Rome. It is richly decorated with a riot of coloured marble and the statues of gilded gods supported on antique green marble columns, look down on the famous scagliola floor.
