Chippendale 300 is a nationwide celebration of the master cabinetmaker, Thomas Chippendale, taking place this summer to mark the tercentenary of his birth in June 1718. Paxton House holds one of the largest and most important collections of Chippendale furniture in the UK, most of which was made especially for the House between 1774 and 1791. ‘The Paxton Style: Neat & Substantially Good’ will display key collection pieces of Chippendale furniture alongside outstanding and rarely seen pieces that are on loan from private and public collections, including the V&A Museum and the National Museums of Scotland.
