George Hepplewhite

George Hepplewhite was an influential English furniture designer and cabinetmaker active in the late 18th century, particularly known for his work during the Regency period. He is celebrated for his elegant, neoclassical furniture style, which often featured delicate lines, tapered legs, and beautiful inlays. Hepplewhite's designs emphasized symmetry and sophistication, reflecting the changing tastes of the time. His most famous work, "The Cabinet-Maker and Upholsterer's Guide," published posthumously in 1788, showcased his innovative ideas and set standards for furniture design. His legacy endures in the timeless appeal of Hepplewhite furniture, which remains popular in classic interior design today.
