Hepplewhite Style...

Georgian style (carved) Shield-back  Parlour Chair Design

George Hepplewhite chairs in particular were of a shield shaped back with Hepplewhite chair designs also featuring straight legs and elegantly carved and shortened armrests. These clearly differentiating His designs from his two more traditional contemporaries.

Hepplewhite gave his name to a style that is characterised by light, elegantly and ornately designed pieces. No Hepplewhite furniture is known to exist today.

Hepplewhite shield back designs were all without carvings and received ornamentation from either paint or inlay details used on the chair.

Hepplewhite was considered one of the big three designers and furniture makers at the time, along with Thomas' Chippendale and Sheraton and Hepplewhite designs have influenced ever since..

Georgian Splat back Chair.

Traditional designs of the time by Messrs Chippendale and Sheraton were of a more traditional 'Splat' back design.
