Chippendale furnitureThompson (mouseman) bookends

Thomas Chippendale, the English master furniture maker, was born in 1718 in the Yorkshire dales. In 1753 he moved to London and worked there for the rest of his life. In 1754 Chippendale published his masterpiece, "Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker's Director", a compilation of fashionable English furniture design. This work is Chippendale's enduring legacy, and shows his amazing gift in producing design styles to the fashion of the mid 18th century. For ever afterwards his name became a by-word for the distinctive rococo style. Robert Thompson, known as 'The Mouseman', of Kilburn, North Yorkshire (1876-1955) is widely regarded as having been one of this country's finest craftsmen of hand carved, traditional oak furniture. Thompson's signature is the carved mouse which appears on all his furniture pieces. Even today, Robert Thompson's great grandsons and their craftsmen continue to produce fine oak furniture to the same standards.
