Temple Newsam

For Viscount and Viscountess Irwin, 1774 - 1808.

Furniture was supplied by both Chippendale senior and junior to the ninth Viscount Irwin and his wife. Some pieces by the latter survive in the house. The museum is now the home of the Chippendale Society's own collection of furniture, documents and Chippendalia. The great Harewood library writing table and Lady's Secretaire are highlights of this leading decorative art museum.
