Thomas Chippendale born on this day 1718.

[Anthony Beech ACR @BeechInfo]

The Chippendale exhibition in Leeds is well thought through and well presented. All credit to LCM and The Chippendale Society, not to mention those who have contributed furniture for display and supported the exhibition financially.
