THOMAS CHIPPENDALE

Chippendale's reputation as the most eminent of all cabinet makers is internationally known. Born in Yorkshire in 1718, he began his career in Otley before moving to London. In 1754 he published The Gentleman & Cabinet-Maker's Director' which led to commissions from HRH Prince William, 1st Duke of Gloucester (to whom the 3rd edition of the Director was dedicated), the Earls of Pembroke, Dumfries and Coventry, and Sir Rowland Winn.

The carved mahogany sidetable retains its original 'Grand Tour' specimen marble top and has a pierced fretwork frieze above four square legs which are chamfered on the back and carved with matching blind fretwork and carved 'C' scroll brackets.

The base is likely to have been made specially to display the Italian specimen marble-inlaid slab top.
