Sheraton chair
Straight, light and square: the chair of late English Neoclassicism.
Thomas Sheraton (1751–1806) was a poor drawing master who published The Cabinet-Maker and Upholsterer’s Drawing-Book in 1791–1794. It became the model for English and American chairs around 1800. He himself made hardly any furniture.
Materials: Mahogany or satinwood, often with painted decoration
Manufacture: A square back with upright splats; turned or square tapering legs.
The back is rectangular, not shield-shaped as with Hepplewhite.
Thin, often turned legs and a very light construction.
