Sheraton

British Neo-classical style named after Thomas Sheraton, who published designs in the early 1700's that were reinterpretations of the Adam style. Sheraton diminished ornamentation, and his style was more delicate than Adam, yet more severe and linear than Hepplewhite. Many Sheraton pieces contain inlay, painted decoration and bands of contrasting veneer. Openwork with urn, swag or lyre motifs is characteristic of his chair backs.
