英语词汇chippendale的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Chippendale. Thomas Chippendale (ca. 1718–79) worked primarily in the French rococo, Chinese, and Gothic styles, sometimes combining them without incongruous results. Set- ting up his factory in London in 1749, he later published The Gentleman and Cabinet Maker’s Directory (1754), in which he illustrated some 160 designs. Chippendale almost invariably managed to combine comfort, grace, and solidity in his wide variety of furniture, which is highly valued today. So many of his designs were slavishly copied during the latter half of the 18th century that it has always been difficult to identify his own work, dealers generally using the term Chippendale to desig- nate a large variety of furniture in his style.
