This pair of Victorian English satinwood corner curio cabinets was crafted in the manner of Thomas Chippendale. The set includes two cabinets with broken pediment tops, each with glass doors and three shelves within. The talent and genius of Thomas Chippendale's designs dominated the furniture styles of the 18th century. He was the first person to amass such a strong following that an entire style bears his name and not that of a monarch, and cabinets such as this demonstrate his lasting influence on English cabinetmakers.

The son of a Yorkshire cabinetmaker, Thomas Chippendale quickly excelled in the family business. By the age of 36, he owned a series of workshops throughout England and an expansive timber yard for harvesting the finest woods. In 1754, Chippendale published The Gentleman and Cabinetmaker's Director, considered the “bible” of furniture design of its day. The book contained over 161 plates with an astounding range of furniture in the Gothic, Chinese and Rococo styles. Subsequent publications of the text throughout Europe and North America included many Neo-Classical designs, serving to propel Chippendale into the international spotlight. Soon, this modest craftsman counted among his distinguished clientele countless members of nobility and society.
