What Defines Chippendale

Thomas Chippendale published the first pattern book for furniture in 1754, and his name has stood for the English style of the 18th century ever since: Mahogany, cabriole legs with ball-and-claw feet, Gothic and Chinese motifs, mullions, and carving. Almost all Chippendale furniture on the market consists of period furniture from the 19th and 20th centuries, often made in England and of very good quality. Original pieces from the 18th century are museum-worthy. Find related styles under English Furniture and Antiques.
