The English furniture designer Thomas Sheraton (1751-1806) brought about the transition from the late-18th-century Adam and Hepplewhite style to that of the Regency period.
Of greater significance for the Regency period, however, was Sheraton's The Cabinet Dictionary (1803), in which he emphasized the new severer and more archeologically correct aspect of the classical spirit, which he had derived from French Directoire designs and from the work of Giovanni Battista Piranesi, Henry Holland, Charles Heathcote Tatham, and Thomas Hope.
Sheraton now included animal motifs such as lion masks and lion monopodia, or lion-shaped supports for chairs and tables.

 Thomas Sheraton's Book Of Designs
Sheraton's early career—His life in London—The influences governing Sheraton's designs—"The Cabinet-maker and Upholsterer's Drawing Book "—The reception of the book—Materials and inlays—Typical pieces—Chairs and tables—Bureaus and bookcases—Sideboards and cabinets—Bedsteads and bedroom furniture.
IN that there is but little evidence that Thomas Sheraton ever worked as a master cabinet-maker, although he had undoubtedly some practical experience of the craft, his influence upon the trade of his day can only be judged by his books.
The book of designs prepared so laboriously was published by subscription, and was so well supported that his scheme of construction and design, which formed such a marked advance, and gave to the cabinet trade such distinctive schemes of ornament, quickly became the rage.
