HeppleWhite style, by the English artistry George Hepplewhite (died 1786, London) 1780-1785 based on the * Louis-Seizer developed furniture style.
While the light, petite furniture produced by HeppleWhite remained essentially limited to England at the time and formed an attractive contrast to the more cumbersome * Chippendale style, his work “The Cabinet-Maker’s and Upholsterer’s Guide” (2nd and 3rd edition 1789 and 1794) also the furniture manufacturers on the continent. The backrests of the HeppleWhite armchair are often oval or cardiac or shield-shaped and decorated with an ornament that consists of three ostrich feathers reminiscent of the * French lily and probably goes back to the coat of arms of the prince of Wales. Sometimes the decor is interpreted as a * grain harbor motif. The furniture designed by Hepplewhite are simple, well thought out in the construction and look elegant and elegant. Preferred types of wood were * mahogany and satin wood (silk wood), with deposits from exotic woods.
