Chippendale furniture was created by Thomas Chippendale, a cabinet maker from London.
Thomas Chippendale had a vision to combine multiple design cultures to create the much-desired Chippendale style.

Chippendale style furniture was generally made of mahogany but can also be made of walnut, cherry, or maple.
Chippendale furniture came to life from the perfect blend of gothic, rococo, and Chinese design influence.
