How can I tell if furniture is Chippendale?

1 Answer

To tell if furniture is authentic Chippendale, first examine the wood. All authentic pieces will feature solid hardwood with no engineered materials. Reddish-brown mahogany was the most popular wood type for Chippendale pieces. Also, examine the legs and feet for signs of hand-carving. Chippendale furniture often features reeded and fluted legs as well as ball and claw feet. Find a variety of expertly vetted Chippendale furniture on 1stDibs.
