Style Notes – George Hepplewhite
George Hepplewhite is considered, along with Sheraton and Chippendale, one of the three great masters of 18th-century English cabinetmaking. His style represents a refined reinterpretation of the neoclassicism promoted by the Adam brothers, distinguished by harmonious proportions and a focus on functionality.
Among his most famous creations are the chairs with shaped legs and oval or shield-shaped backrests, made primarily of mahogany and satiné.
