Chippendale, Sheriton, Heplewhite

straight, comfortable lines, not unlike the suits shown here. Plain or with the hairlines of inlaid
white holly. Then came the Sheritons, who used the same design, but added the little inlaid
fan-shape ornaments in the corner. Then Heplewhite, who added the festoons and drapery

inlay and chairs done in leather
