Chippendale: Master of 18th Century Design
Renowned for his technical mastery, Chippendale's furniture represents the pinnacle of British craftsmanship. His revolutionary 1754 publication, The Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker's Director, established him as England's preeminent tastemaker. Working with only the finest materials and most skilled artisans, Chippendale created distinctive pieces that graced the homes of nobility and regal figures. His sophisticated designs embodied English Rococo and Neoclassical styles, setting standards that furniture makers still aspire to today.
