Chippendale
Launched in the 1700s, this style gets its name from famed cabinetmaker Thomas Chippendale. It contains elements of Queen Anne, Gothic, Rococo and Chinese style furniture.
Key Chippendale elements include curvy cabriole legs ending in ball-and-claw or lion’s feet, or square legs with square feet. Chairs are made from darker woods like mahogany, cherry or walnut, and often feature ornate backs. The furnishings many Americans consider “formal” reflect Chippendale design influence.
Authentic pieces command big-time price tags, but there are plenty of well-made (and not-so-well-made) knockoffs, and even antique knockoffs. Chippendale wasn’t cheap in its prime, either.
