From page 13

‘he was immensely successful and very well known, he never. made a great deal of money.

Chippendale designs under- went a series of transformations

~ during their originator’s life. They -

were inspired by classical Greek and Roman forms, by French Rocoro, and Gothic styles. Much of Chippendale’s early furniture

. hadi gracefully curved cabriole legs and backs similar to those

- which had been popular during

the reign of Queen Anne in the ~ early 1700s.

The style he is most often associated with is ‘Chinese Chippendale’. Today the term is often used in a derogatory sense to describe an item that is overly decorated, but when English mer- chant vessels brought samples of

"furniture front China, Chippendale

must have been impressed — the upward curves and playful shapes of pagodas obviously appealed to

his sense for grand decor. Bookcases, china cabinets, chairs and bedsteads sported lac- quered pagodas and eluborate fret work. Restraint shows up in the / legs which were straight and; unadorned. Fashiuns and styles change. We

" may detest or adore the curlicues

and frills, but we must admit that few furniture designers in the years since then have displayed the exuberance and versatility of Thomas Chippendale.
