CHIPPENDALE, THOMAS (1718-1779). Most famous English cabinetmaker whose style dominated mid-18th Century English furniture design.

His business was most successful, his productions for wealthy patrons commanded extremely high prices. Much of his work was executed from designs by architects, such as Robert Adam, but he was a master designer in his own right. Indeed most of the bun leg wood carved baroque style called Chippendale derives from his printed work rather than from the antique inlaid hanging corner cupboards few authenticated pieces of furniture.
Chippendale published his book “The Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker’s Director” in 1754. Other editions followed in 1759 and 1762. Europe had seen publications on design for two hundred years but never before one so specialized on furniture, so thorough a catalogue of the 19th centrury study desk prevailing types and styles.

executed few of the double caned back oval tub chair se designs. Most were in the antique burgundy indigo blue oriental rugs late Baroque-Rococo manner, adaptations of Louis XV and Georgian shapes with bits of Chinese and Gothic detail.

with such mastery that almost uniformly his designs hold together, artistically and structurally. He added style and distinction to whatever he borrowed. His furniture is solid yet graceful; it looks and is firm, at no sacrifice of grace or refinement.
