His baroque-inspired style like Louis XV draws on the Gothic, Chinese, and Rococo ornamental repertoire at the same time. This cabinetmaker and furniture maker, born in 1718 and died in 1779, left a lasting mark on the style of 18th century English furniture. In partnership with furniture designer Matthias Lock, he created furniture inspired by French rocaille, medieval Gothic ornaments and interpretations of "Chinese". His seat with its slender, openwork, tormented and over-cut wooden back is a good representation of the style that took its name. The very characteristic Chippendale seat is recognizable by its heavily openwork rectangular back and its flared uprights. The central motif represents either Gothic-inspired windows, or Chinese-inspired openwork latticework, or Rococo interlacing and arabesques or pretty ribbon patterns. Its back is generally topped with opposing volutes. The legs take the form of a cabriole at the front and are inclined in a sabre at the back.
