Unravel the story of Thomas Chippendale and his special connection to Nostell.  How did a humble cabinet maker from Otley become a world famous brand?   

Discover how Thomas Chippendale made his name; from the publication of his pattern book of furniture designs to masterminding entire rooms in the latest 18th century fashions. Alongside a range of objects Chippendale supplied for Nostell, you’ll see a unique archive of letters, invoices and drawings, revealing the man behind the influential Chippendale brand, the inner workings of his firm and the often challenging relationship between client and supplier.
