How To Spot A Genuine Thomas Chippendale 

Growing up as an artist & designer, other artist never got me excited. Then in my travels through all of the original 13 colonies and their museums, i saw the most beautiful creations in wood that literally stopped me in my tracks....and that was Chippendale, in particular, pieces carved in Philadelphia. To this day nothing else keeps my interest and fills me with excitement. This video puts me over the top with incredibly clear closeup camera work. The precise and crisp carving details from his shops artisans are unmatched ! Also, from the very beginning of exposure, it was in my view from a distance across the gallery that i was struck with how beautiful the proportions are. No Monet here, for when you get up close that you are shocked with the amount of incredible details that are in perfect balance and harmony with the negative space around them, there by letting the wood grain sing ! My favorite pieces are the ones that incorporate all three of his styles of Rococo, Chinese, and Gothic, which are usually misdescribed as only one or the other. OK, it's time for this fan boy to stop....before i write a book of praises. Thanks Christies for this video on my favorite artist ❣

Chippendale furniture is absolutely exquisite!

That was fantastic! Thank you for producing this.

Nice work! But halfway through this it occurred to me that this was actually a sales pitch!

I enjoyed the video, but I can't say that it helps me identify an original Chippendale. A bit of click bait?

Amazing !!!!!!

regatds from monaco, he was a big designer

Rococo IS Neoclassical. It is a subset within the very broad category that is Neoclassicism. So, instead of saying, "...the evolution from the Rococo, into the Neoclassical...", it would be better to say, "...the evolution from the Rococo, toward the more severe/restrained/strictly historicist forms of Neoclassicism..." (choose one or more adjectives).

Seeing as Chippendale basically made flat pack furniture designs that any carpenter could copy, I would say it was impossible to say wether he made them or not.

The Golden Age

To think someone somewhere has painted over a Chippendale piece of furniture.

Takes my breath away. Real artist and craftsman. Too bad millenials have pooped on the antiques market by putting their few pennies on Ikea like junk instead of buying art and quality. Gen Z looks more promising in their judgment and taste.
