	George Hepplewhite - LoveToKnow 1911
		In one respect at least the Hepplewhite style was akin to that of Chippendale - in both cases the utmost ingenuity was lavished upon the chair, and if Hepplewhite was not the originator he appears to have been the most constant and successful user of the shield back.
		The backs of Hepplewhite chairs were often adorned with galleries and festoons of wheat-ears or pointed fern leaves, and not infrequently with the prince of Wales's feathers in some more or less decorative form.
		A large proportion of Hepplewhite furniture is inlaid with the exotic woods which had come into high favour by the third quarter of the 18th century.

	George Hepplewhite Biography
		There was a personality there which impressed itself on the taste of his period, and for years Hepplewhite has shared with Thomas Chippendale and Thomas Sheraton the honour of creating or fostering that national taste for artistic beauty in furniture which reached its zenith in England between 1780 and 1800, the neoclassical period.
		George Hepplewhite was born no one knows just where, at some time during the first half of the eighteenth century, and was apprenticed to the Gillows at Lancaster.
		George Hepplewhite was at least a practical cabinet-maker of independent if not original ideas, and his work certainly produced a profound effect on the style of the period.

	BookRags: George Hepplewhite Biography
		George Hepplewhite (died 1786) was an English furniture designer whose name has become synonymous with grace and elegance.
		Hepplewhite was much influenced by Chippendale, especially in his designs for sideboard-tables with accompanying urns and pedestals and in the simpler types of domestic furniture such as chests of drawers, bookcases, and wardrobes.
		Hepplewhite never used human or animal figures in his designs, or sphinxes or military trophies, as did Adam and Thomas Sheraton; Hepplewhite's decorative motifs consisted chiefly of stylized foliage, urns, and vases and occasionally of ornaments in the Louis XVI manner, such as ribbon entwining a fluted chair leg.

		The shield design was taken directly from an original Roman model,which Hepplewhite updated by using the proportions of those used by knights in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries.
		Hepplewhite's shield backs utilized the tapered leg as did many early classical-style chairs of the time, including those of Thomas Sheraton.
		Hepplewhite's pieces are characterized by a rounded unbroken line the entire length, whereas the Sheraton top rails were executed with a horizontal bar or broken line at the top.

	Hepplewhite's Furniture
		IN considering the furniture of the Hepplewhite style, and when buying pieces which have unmistakable signs of being in accord with the principles he laid down, we must remember that Hepplewhite died in 1786, having worked for many years, and founded the reputation of the work afterwards carried on in the Hepplewhite workshops.
		George Hepplewhite is known to have been in business as a cabinet-maker somewhere in the parish of St Giles', Cripplegate.
		Most of the ornaments George Hepplewhite used were well adapted to the chairs of lessened calibre, and also to the small and tasteful articles of furniture which he provided for the dainty drawing-rooms and boudoirs of his day.

		George Hepplewhite is a notable designer whose work deeply influenced the work that followed his own, but his own work wasn't recognized until his wife published his book on styles two years after his death in 1786.
		Hepplewhite is now considered one of the two last great cabinet makers of the Georgian period, designing furniture during the heart of the 1700s.
		Hepplewhite's own style is distinctive enough that he is often considered a bridge between the earlier styles of the Adams brothers and the later styles of Sheraton.

		In contrast to Chippendale, no actual piece of furniture has ever been identified as having been made by Hepplewhite’s own hands, although in his later years he too established a furniture factory in London.
		Making a departure from the heavy bulky designs of his predecessors, Hepplewhite chose instead to accent the art of painting and inlays while largely forgoing actual carving in his designs.
		In contrast, Hepplewhite accented the shield of armor while Chippendale used cupids and cupid's arrow.

		While Hepplewhite favored the square tapered leg, Sheraton employed the round turned leg and often incorporated reeds or flutes into its design.
