China Tables, from Chippendale Drawings, Vol. II 1754

This is a design plate for two different China tables, drawn by the renowned English furniture maker Thomas Chippendale in 1754. Chippendale is famous for his elegant furniture designs that blended Rococo and Gothic elements. This plate features detailed drawings of the table legs, and an outline of the table top in various styles. These drawings would have been used by Chippendale's clients and craftsmen to construct the tables, and are considered an important part of his legacy in furniture design.
