Sheraton
Sheraton is a late 18th century
neoclassical English furniture style, in vogue
ca 1785 - 1800, that was named afterwards (by 19th century collectors and dealers) to credit furniture designer
Thomas Sheraton, whose books of engraved designs capture this style. Sheraton style employs slender lightweight forms, using satinwood,
mahogany or painted finishes. Without pedantic archaeology, it brought the Neo-Classical taste of architects like
Robert Adam within reach of the middle class. In many respects Sheraton style corresponds with the contemporary
Directoire style of France.
