Specificatii
Thomas Chippendale (1718-79) was the most famous and most skilled
of England's master cabinet-makers. So synonymous with excellence
in design and craftsmanship was he that his name has been given to
the most splendid period of English furniture design.In 1774,
Chippendale issued a catalogue of all his designs, a magnificent
compilation of 160 engraved plates representing the prevailing
furniture styles, particularly the French (Louis XXV), Gothic, and
Chinese-manner pieces for which he was best known. The Gentleman
and Cabinet-Maker's Director, the most important and thorough
catalogue of furniture designs that had ever been published in
England, was enormously influential, spreading quickly throughout
the Continent and the colonies and guiding the style and
construction of furniture everywhere. A second edition was formed
the following year, and a third in 1762. Today this classic
collection is a very rare and highly valued work.This volume is an
unaltered and unabridged republication of the 1762 edition of The
Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker's Director. The articles of furniture
depicted are extremely varied: chairs, sofas, canopy and dome beds,
window cornices, breakfast tables, shaving tables, commodes,
chamber organs, cabinets, candle stands, cisterns, chimney pieces,
picture frames, frets, and other decorations. The plates contain
elegant drawings that show the unique combination of solidity of
construction and lightness and grace that was the Chippendale
trademark, along with many construction diagrams, elevations, and
enlargements of moldings and other details. In addition to the
plates, this volume also includes a supplement of photographs of
sixteenth-century Chippendale-style pieces, including some executed
by Chippendale, complete captions to the photos, and a short
biographical sketch of Chippendale by N. I. Bienenstock, editor of
Furniture World.The Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker's Director is an
indispensable guide for antiquarians, furniture dealers, and
collectors, and a treasury of ideas for today's designers. Art
lovers and other readers will also find it a delightful browsing
book.
