Which furniture style is named after a London cabinetmaker and is associated with Rococo design?

• A. Sheraton (Neoclassical)
• B. William and Mary (Baroque)
• C. Queen Anne Windsor
• D. Chippendale (Rococo)

Answer: (D)

This question is about identifying a furniture style that carries the name of a London cabinetmaker and carries Rococo design ideas. The style is Chippendale, named for Thomas Chippendale, a London cabinetmaker whose pattern books in the mid-18th century popularized ornate Rococo-inspired forms—curved silhouettes, scrolling foliate carvings, shells, and a blend of decorative motifs, sometimes including Chinese influences. This Rococo flavor and the designer’s name distinguish it from earlier or later styles like William and Mary or Queen Anne (Baroque and early 18th-century) or Sheraton (Neoclassical). So the correct connection is Chippendale.
