Harewood House, Yorkshire
Recognised today as one of England’s most splendid stately homes, Harewood House was built and furnished for Edwin Lascelles (1712–1795) between 1760 and 1780 with some of the greatest architects and craftsmen of the day engaged on the project such as John Carr and Robert Adam. The most celebrated cabinetmaker in British history Thomas Chippendale furnished and decorated the entirety of the house in his largest and most important commission. The sale presents a rare opportunity for collectors to acquire items from this commission.
