For at least 150 years, Thomas Chippendale has been synonymous with
beautifully made eighteenth-century furniture in a variety of
styles - Rococo, Chinese, Gothic and Neoclassical. Born in Otley,
Yorkshire, in 1718, Chippendale rose to fame because of his
revolutionary design book, The Gentleman and Cabinet Maker's
Director, published in 1754. That same year he set up his famous
workshops in St Martin's Lane, creating some of the most
magnificent furniture ever made in Britain. This beautifully
illustrated history focuses on Britain's most famous furniture
maker and designer, including the worldwide phenomenon 'Chippendale
style' that became popular in Europe, North America and Asia after
his death in 1779. Today, his influence lives on with the ongoing
production of 'Chippendale' furniture, while the eighteenth-century
originals are selling for millions at auction.
