This is my Chinese Chippendale Chair I found for $55.00, painted in Farrow & Ball Skylight, and covered in a lovely Cowtan & Tout fabric I already had in my stash. If you are lucky enough to find a Chinoiserie chair of your own, don't be afraid to paint it any color at all. Everything works on these beauties.

I can not get enough of these chairs, they are class yet feel modern day. They truly are gorgeous in any colorway!
Great collection! They are so elegant and I love when they are used around a big dining room table.
OMG! I am dying for a set of 6 Chippendales for my dining room table. I have not had any luck finding them without spending a forture...any ideas?
Great post!
The reds please. Beautiful selection of images. fabulous. They lend the most elegant look to a space!
I adore them all. I have several myself. I actually have over 30 chiavari ballroom chairs I picked up recently and want to paint them in some of the luscious colors you've shown here. Thanks for the inspiration!!
I check craigslist often....hoping to find a diamond in the rough!
Love love this post! I painted my chippendale chair a bright shiny red. It adds a great pop to my desk!

I think I want a set of these in white for my dining room -- any good sources for a set of 6?
