The Great
North Bedchamber was Walpole's state bedchamber and the final parade
room of the House. On entering the Bedchamber the visitors found
themselves in a room in the French style, bathed both in reflected
crimson light from the damask of the walls and in amber light from the
armorial glass made by Peckitt. As the focus of the room, against the
far wall and flanked by two chairs on either side, stood the bed,
enriched by Aubusson tapestry hangings with festoons of flowers woven in
bright colour against a pale background.
