  1. Thomas Chippendale By Stephen McCullough

  2. Introduction • The name Chippendale is probably one of the most recognized names in furniture design today and his contributions to design are still as highly praised today as they were three centuries ago and many people still seek out Chippendale style furnishings to add to their antique collections. • Chippendale furniture was so important that it dominated the English furniture market from 1745 to 1770 and its influence remained strong until the late 18th century.

  3. Early Life • Chippendale was born in 1718 in Yorkshire to a carpenter father and apart from the fact that he married Catherine Redshaw in 1748 little else is known about his life. • His work however which was influenced by English, French and Chinese furniture design remains as an incredible example of quality antique furniture and much is known about that.

  4. The Gentlemen & Cabinet-makers Director • Chippendale first became well known after he published a book entitled the “The Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker's Director", which was illustrated with examples of work that he had produced for clients and which later served as a kind of catalogue for the wealthy. • The book was reprinted several times and is considered by many to be the most important collection of furniture designs ever published in England.
