In this passage, ----.

The most important influence on the style of English
furniture was that of the Chippendale family.
Chippendale furniture is the creation of Thomas
Chippendale, a London-based cabinet-maker. His
Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker's Director, a folio of
furniture designs, was published in 1754 and had a
wide circulation. Chippendale himself never marked his
creations, making it harder today for collectors to locate
original pieces. One of the best ways to find original
Chippendale furniture is to look for uneven joints and
tool marks, as the furniture was made entirely by hand
and does not have the perfect angles of a massproduced
product. Though an article of furniture made
in Chippendale's manner may bear his name, it is by no
means an indication that it was actually made in his
workshop. The 18th century was a time when artisans
were beginning to exploit various styles, leading to
widespread adoption of his name in revivals of his style,
so much so that dealers spoke of “Chinese
Chippendale”, “Gothic Chippendale”, and even “Irish
Chippendale”. Many of these later designs that attach
his name bear little relationship to his original concepts.
