CHIMNEYPIECE AND OVERMANTEL.
DESIGNED BY W. THOMAS, ARCHITECT. 1783.
Very similar to Robert Adam's work.
Chippendale published "The Gentleman and Cabinet Maker's Director," not, as stated in the introduction to the catalogue to the South Kensington Museum, in 1769, but some years previously, as is testified by a copy of the "third edition" of the work, which is in the writer's possession and bears date 1762, the first edition having appeared in 1754. The title page of this edition is reproduced in fac-simile on page [178].
CHAIRS,
With ornament in the Chinese style, by Thomas Chippendale.
