GEORGE HEPPLEWHITE

Cabinet maker and designer at St. Giles Cripplegate, London. He developed a style which incorporated much of the Neo-Classicism of the period. In addition to the tables and regular pieces of household furniture, he also produced hanging lamps, tea trays and knife boxes. Hepplewhite died in 1788, and his widow Alice continued the company, publishing his designs and drawings as the Cabinet Maker's and Upholsterer's Guide some two years later.
