The splat design of a chair may be plain and simple, or be intricate and reflect the theme of a specific furniture period and local culture. Chairs with splat backs provide a more formal effect in a room or space.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_76 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Contents:<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lafurniturestore.com\/advice\/glossary\/splat\/#What_are_Famous_Splat_Designs\" >What are Famous Splat Designs?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lafurniturestore.com\/advice\/glossary\/splat\/#What_are_Variations_of_Splat_in_Chairs\" >What are Variations of Splat in Chairs?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_Famous_Splat_Designs\"><\/span>What are Famous Splat Designs?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Thomas Chippendale, a London cabinet maker who in 1754 published The Gentleman and Cabinet Maker\u2019s Director, made use of different splat designs incorporating Gothic, Chinese, English, and French features. The most famous Chippendale chair design is a wide-seat ribbonback, incorporating a back rail shaped into a cupid\u2019s bow, the splat of which is pierced and carved into interlocking ribbons- a French Rococo style.<\/p>\n<p>Chairs of gothic Chippendale design are characterized by a pierced center splat with pointed gothic arches and ogee curves. The back of the chair is wider on top and the rail forms a shallow \u201cs\u201d towards the center. The ends of the rail extend upwards to form \u201cears\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_Variations_of_Splat_in_Chairs\"><\/span>What are Variations of Splat in Chairs?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The fiddle chair has a remarkable splat design featuring a violin-shaped central board hence the name of the chair. Queen Anne furniture commonly features the fiddle-style splat.<\/p>\n<p>The Windsor chair was widely used in colonial America and New England. The splat of Windsor chairs remains at the center of the back pinned by slats. Designs of the Windsor chair splat can range from bow braces, double bows, and tapers.<\/p>\n<p>More intricate splat designs employ embellished carvings, marquetry, fretwork, or tracery.<\/p>\n<p>At present, splat chairs can appear in Primitive, Edwardian, Hepplewhite, and Art Nouveau designs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":4801,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4800","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-glossary"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.2 -
