英语词汇hepplewhite style的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Hepplewhite style. Nothing is known about the British fur- niture designer George Hepplewhite except that he operated a fashionable cabinetmaking shop in the parish of St. Gile’s, Crip- plegate, London, died in 1786, and willed his business to his wife, Alice. But his furniture was widely imitated in England and the United States, resulting in a style often eloquent and graceful. It has been assumed that the original Hepplewhite styles were delicate and soundly constructed. The cabinetmaker invented or popularized the shield-back chair and the “spider leg” for chairs, tables, and sideboards, and was among the first to inlay much of his furniture with exotic woods. Hepplewhite’s small pieces, such as inlaid knife boxes, fire screens, and tea caddies, are highly valued by collectors. His The Cabinet-Maker and Upholsterer’s Guide, published by his wife in 1788, inspired a host of imitators at home and abroad.
