Furniture Chippendale Kits Houseworks furniture kits represent some of the most popular period styles of furniture. Many of the furniture designs we are familiar with evolved by necessity after the arrival of Europeans in America. Ouly the very wealthy were able to bring their fine furniture with them. So, in order to have the furniture they wanted in the new land, joiners, carpenters, carvers and craftsmen developed American versions of the furniture they had used in their homeland. Therefore, we recognize the influence of England, France and China in early American cabinetmakers' work. Chippendale Style of Furniture 1755-1790 The surname of Thomas 1. Chippendale is largely identified with the particular style of furniture made famous by his work. A 1754 book of his designs, which was widely referenced by furniture craftsmen of his day, testifies to his many influences, including rococo, Gothic revival and Chinese motifs.
