Side chair (one of a pair) 1750 - 1765

Thomas Chippendale's "Side chair (one of a pair)" from 1750-1765 exemplifies the Rococo style with its intricate carved back. The chair's delicate, flowing lines and elaborate ornamentation were popular in 18th-century England. Chippendale, a renowned furniture maker, incorporated elements of Chinese and Gothic styles into his designs, which can be seen in the chair's intricate carving. This chair, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to Chippendale's mastery of craftsmanship and his influence on the evolution of furniture design.
