I would like to purchase a Chippendale Hanging Shelve. Where would I find one?

Search antique shops and be prepared to spend a lot of money for a genuine one in reasonable condition.

I have a 1877 Chippendale Hanging shelf that needs repair in that the wooden gallery pieces have become very brittle and it will be very tedious to restore almost like a jigsaw puzzle. I just happened onto your website and read Eleanor Clark’s question but that was posted 3 years ago so she probably has already found one.
