   Chippendale \Chip"pen*dale\, a.
      Designating furniture designed, or like that designed, by
      Thomas Chippendale, an English cabinetmaker of the 18th
      century. Chippendale furniture was generally of simple but
      graceful outline with delicately carved rococo ornamentation,
      sculptured either in the solid wood or, in the cheaper
      specimens, separately and glued on. In the more elaborate
      pieces three types are recognized: {French Chippendale},
      having much detail, like Louis Quatorze and Louis Quinze;
      {Chinese Chippendale}, marked by latticework and pagodalike
      pediments; and {Gothic Chippendale}, attempting to adapt
      medieval details. The forms, as of the cabriole and
      chairbacks, often resemble Queen Anne. In chairs, the seat is
      widened at the front, and the back toward the top widened and
      bent backward, except in Chinese Chippendale, in which the
      backs are usually rectangular. -- {Chip"pen*dal*ism}, n.
