England - 19th
Thomas Chippendale was a renowned English cabinetmaker of the mid-18th century. Its baroque-inspired style like Louis XV draws on the Gothic, Chinese, and rocaille ornamental repertoire at the same time.
This cabinetmaker and furniture manufacturer, born in 1718 and died in 1779, left a lasting mark on the style of 18th century English furniture. Associated with furniture designer Matthias Lock, he will manufacture furniture inspired by French rocaille, medieval Gothic ornaments and interpretations of "Chinese". Its seat with a slender, openwork wooden back, twisted and over-cut represents the style that took its name.
The very characteristic Chippendale chair can be recognized by its heavily perforated rectangular backrest and its flared uprights. The central motif represents either Gothic-inspired fenestration, Chinese-inspired openwork lattices, Rococo intertwining and arabesques or pretty ribbon patterns. Its back is generally topped with facing scrolls. The legs take the shape of a cabriole at the front and are inclined saber-shaped at the rear.
