Gorham introduced Chippendale in 1890. The pattern has a beaded edge that runs from the shoulder of each piece up the stem around the terminal and back down the stem. There is a fan motif on the end of the terminal with lines resembling stems rising from the bottom of the stem of the piece and fanning out at the bottom of the terminal. The fancy work on the serving pieces is what looks like drapes of laurel and ferns. Overall, it is a very unique pattern.

Southern Rose by Manchester
Another repousse pattern with a rose design is Southern Rose by Manchester introduced in 1933.. The rose blossoms and leaves look very similar to other repousse patterns. However, if you look closely, you can see subtle differences in each. All are lovely designs.
