1718 - 1779
The designs of Thomas Chippendale cover a wide range of styles, from Rococo to Gothic and oriental style. He died in 1779 and his business in London was carried on by his son, also named Thomas.
Thomas Chippendale became the first cabinet-maker to publish a book of his designs in 1754, titled :
'The Gentlemen and Cabinet-Maker's Director'
Chippendale's designs were widely copied, and his Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker's Director was used heavily by other cabinet makers.
Many Chippendale pieces have cabriole legs, shell motifs, claw-and-ball foot.
Chippendale style pieces were crafted from mahony, walnut, cherry or maple.
