The Chippendale cabinet-making firm, founded by Thomas Chippendale
senior in about 1750, became famous partly through the successful
publication of The Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker's Director (1754,
re-published 1755 and 1762), but also through the fine furniture
supplied to a number of illustrious clients. Chippendale senior ran
the workshop for just over twenty years and his eldest son, Thomas
Chippendale junior, continued the business for over forty years;
the first two decades in partnership with Thomas Haig. Chippendale
senior's work has been well documented but Chippendale junior's
work has never, until now, been thoroughly researched. The Life and
Work of Thomas Chippendale Junior repairs the omission. His patrons
included members of the Royal Family, aristocrats, landed gentry
and antiquarians; he was adept at satisfying their demands, whether
they required lavish gilt or simpler, often mahogany, pieces. Where
family archives and original settings survive, as at Harewood
House, Paxton House and Stourhead, they reveal the variety and
quality of Chippendale's output. An analysis of client's invoices,
even when the furniture can no longer be traced, for the first time
provides a colourful view of what customers chose and what prices
they paid.
