A Highly Important Pair of Chippendale George III Library Armchairs
18th Century

Thomas Chippendale was born in Otley, Yorkshire, in 1718, the son of a carpenter. The exact date of his birth is a mystery, but we do know that he was baptised on June 5.  Like his birth, Chippendale’s early life is lost to us. We do know that he married Catherine Redshaw in 1748 in London, and five years later he moved his furniture showrooms and workshop to St. Martin’s Lane, where he lived and worked for the rest of his life.
