  Thomas Chippendale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thomas Chippendale (June 5, 1718– November 13, 1779), born in Otley, West Yorkshire, was a London cabinet-maker and furniture designer in the mid-Georgian, English Rococo and Neoclassical styles.
Chippendale worked in partnership initially with the upholsterer James Rannie and later with Rannie's assistant Thomas Haig, but artistic control of the luxurious furnishings that came from his premises in St. Martin's Lane was firmly in Chippendale's hands.
His workshop was continued by Thomas Chippendale the younger but in an insipid Neoclassicism without the same verve.

 Thomas Chippendale - LoveToKnow 1911
The materials for the biography of Chippendale are exceedingly scanty, but he is known to have been the son of Thomas Chippendale I., and is believed to have been the father of Thomas Chippendale III.
Chippendale has even shared with Sir William Chambers the obloquy of introducing the Chinese style, but he appears to have done nothing worse than "conquer," as Alexandre Dumas used to call it, the ideas of other people.
Chippendale was buried on the 13th of November 1779, apparently at the church of St Martin-in-the-Fields, and administration of his intestate estate was granted to his widow Elizabeth.

 Thomas Chippendale (1718 - 1779) was baptised on 5 June 1718 at Otley   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Thomas Chippendale (1718 - 1779) was baptised on 5 June 1718 at Otley, a small market town in Wharfedale, Yorkshire, the only child of John Chippendale (1690 - 1768), joiner and his first wife Mary (1693 - 1729), daughter of Thomas Drake, stonemason of Otley.
The earliest trustworthy evidence of Chippendale's presence in London is his marriage licence recording this event at St George's Chapel, Mayfair "19 May 1748 Thomas Chippendale and Catherine Redshaw of St Martin-in-the-Fields".
Thomas Chippendale junior, who became a first class cabinet maker and designer in his own right, played an increasingly important part in the enterprise, enabling his father to retire, perhaps on the grounds of ill health, in mid summer 1776 when he took a modest house in Lob's Fields (now Derry Street), Kensington.

His father was a cabinet-maker and wood-carver of considerable repute in Worcester towards the beginning of the 18th century, and possibly he originated some of the forms which became characteristic of his son's work.
Chippendale has even shared with Sir William Chambers the obloquy of introducing the Chinese style, but he appears to have done nothing worse than " conquer," as Alexandre Dumas used to call it, the ideas of other people.
The most attractive feature of Chippendale's most artistic chairs —those which, originally derived from Louis Quinze models, were deprived of their rococo extravagances—is the back, which, speaking generally, is the most elegant and pleasing thing that has ever been done in furniture.

 Thomas Chippendale
Thomas Chippendale, the best-known English cabinetmaker and author of The Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker´s Director (1754; 2nd edition, 1755; 3rd edition, 1762) was born in Yorkshire, the son of a carpenter.
Thomas Chippendale´s firm undertook the complete furnishing and decoration of large houses such as Nostell Priory and Harewood Housee.
Chippendale´s finest furniture is in the neo-classical style introduced by Robert Adam, and is, therefore, very different from that which is commonly associated with his name.

 Chippendale--The Royalty of Antique Furniture
Chippendale created his Director as a catalogue from which his wealthy patrons could choose particular elements for their furniture, which would then be custom made for them in his workshop.
While there are six different basic Chippendale style legs–the lion’s paw, the ball and claw, the late Chippendale, the Marlborough, the club and the spade–he based three of them on the cabriole shape which is an elegant, serpentine style ending in a distinctive foot.
Chippendale never employed a maker’s mark, so the only method of establishing his authorship is to find one of his original bills, usually preserved among estate papers, or equivalent documentation.

Thomas Chippendale, the elder, was baptized at a rural church in Yorkshire, on June 5, 1718 and died in 1779.
Even though Thomas Chippendale’s signature appeared on the plates of the Director, it seems that he cannot claim sole credit for all the designs, for it is known that he employed Lock and Copland as his “ghosts” to help him.

While the younger Kimball was away at college and during his early career years, his father corresponded often, advising and encouraging his son to stay "on the road to even higher usefulness."

With a concentration in the history of architecture, he wrote his dissertation, "Thomas Jefferson and the First Monument of the Classical Revival in America," which was a study of the design of the Virginia Capitol.
Kimball served on several editorial boards, including a vice chairmanship on the board editing the Papers of Thomas Jefferson, and from 1920 to 1926 he was in charge of the American section of Allgemeines Lexikon der bildenden Kunstler, a comprehensive dictionary of artists and architects known commonly as Thieme Becker.

In his all-embracing approach to building schemes (and in partnership with his brother James), he took responsibility for all aspects of interior decoration – the painting of walls and ceilings, stucco-work, furniture, carpets, curtains and lighting – and by so doing gave patronage to some of the best craftsmen of the time.
Among the cabinet-makers who collaborated with him were John Linnell, Thomas Chippendale, Ince and Mayhew, Vile and Cobb and Samuel Norman.

In the early 19th century, Thomas Chippendale the Younger designed and made case pieces with Classical terms surmounting reeded panels above carved feet quite similar to these terms.
Beneath the busts, the terms continue in moulded and reeded tapering panels terminating in finely carved pairs of feet facing forward (as do the heads), all on the plinth base of the bureau.
