What is Chippendale furniture?
Chippendale furniture is a style of furniture developed during the mid 18th century. It gets its name from the British cabinet maker Thomas Chippendale because his work inspired the look of the furnishings. Some common elements of Chippendale include upholstered seats, cabriole legs with ball-and-claw feet and yoked backs. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of Chippendale furniture.
