Additional Information
Style: In the style of Chippendale
Predominant style in English furniture in the second half of the eighteenth century.The Chippendale style is named after Thomas Chippendale, a famous English furniture manufacturer of the 1700s.
He began by designing Rococo-style furniture with the addition, from time to time, of oriental decorations and finally furniture with a neoclassical taste.
Its production concerns decidedly expensive and elaborate furniture but also common and, above all, cheap ones.
This style is, chronologically, followed by Art-Decò and Liberty.
