Hepplewhite Style (1 Jan 1780 Jahr – 1 Jan 1810 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

Named after London designer and cabinetmaker George Hepplewhite, this furniture dates from about 1780-1810.
It is a neoclassic style and falls within the Federal period in the United States.
Hepplewhite was especially popular in early American states along the Eastern Seaboard, from New England to the Carolinas.

As Hepplewhite furniture is characterized by contrasting veneers and inlays depicting seashells or bell flowers, pieces often contain more than one type of wood. In contrast to the popular curving cabriole legs of earlier styles such as Queen Anne and Chippendale, Hepplewhite pieces usually have straight legs.
These can be square or tapered and often have reeded or fluted edges.

Some chairs and sofas have H-stretchers, which are reinforcing pieces of wood that connect the legs to form the shape of an H.
