	Chippendale at Harewood House.(Thomas Chippendale)(Brief
		It can be argued that designing the furniture and furnishings for Harewood House, the seat of the earls of Harewood near Leeds, York-shire, was one of the most important commissions undertaken by Thomas Chippendale.
		In its present form the house has its origins in the mid-eighteenth century, when Edwin Lascelles (1712-1795), later the first earl of Harewood, inherited it and had it rebuilt on a grand scale to a neoclassical design overseen by Robert Adam (1728-1792).
		In the remodeling of Harewood under the supervision of Sir Charles Barry (1795-1860), the state bedroom became a sitting room and the state bed designed by Chippendale was stored in a stable, where it was rediscovered in the 1970s.
