Hepplewhite (Born 1727) was born and raised in England in Ryton, County Durham. He worked during the times of Thomas Chippendale and Thomas Sheraton and the three were known to be the leading makers of cabinets in England. . On biographical data, very little exists about Hepplewhite. Even the dates of Hepplewhite’s birth and death are not known with certainly. Another issue is the spelling of his name that has caused a lot of controversy. In the later editions of his book, the name appears as "Hepplewhite"; however, in the first edition it was spelled "Heppelwhite." Hepplewhite was apprenticed at Lancaster to the Gillows. Later he carried his cabinet-making business in Redcross street, Cripplegate. Pieces of furniture that he made or were made by his firm do not exist today but he gave his name to a unique style of stylish, light furniture that was fashionable in the late 1700s and early 1800s. The reproductions of his designs continued through the centuries that followed. His art display a great variety of patterns for: Tea Caddies, Chairs, Stools, Hanging Shelves, Fireplace Screens, Tea Trays, Card Tables, Sofas, Confidante, Beds, Field Beds, Pier Tables, Pembroke Tables, Duchesse, Side Boards, Sweep Tops for Ditto, Bed Pillars, Tambour Tables, Pedestals and Vases, among others. He was based in London, where he opened a shop. After his death, the business was continued by Alice, his widow. Today, framed Hepplewhite art can be seen in many furniture shops. He was a man of skill and taste, possessed of business ability and educated at least in his art. His business ability was second only to that of Chippendale.
