The bench … more This 18th-century English Georgian Hepplewhite bench exemplifies the elegance and refined taste characteristic of George Hepplewhite's influential designs. The bench features bundled wheat sheaf patterned back splats, a motif that echoes the agricultural prosperity and appreciation for natural elements prevalent in late 18th-century England. Its beautiful out-turned arms terminate in exquisite spiral-carved ends, adding a touch of sophistication and intricate detail. The bench stands on straight square front legs and saber back legs, a harmonious blend of stability and graceful silhouette.

Newly reupholstered in a playful indigo and white cotton striped fabric, the seat's fresh look is accentuated with a tasteful tassel fringe, offering a contemporary twist on classic elegance. George Hepplewhite, whose guidebook, "The Cabinet Maker and Upholsterer's Guide," was posthumously published in 1788 by his widow, is renowned for his streamlined designs and the light, elegant forms that contrasted with the more ornate styles of the past. Hepplewhite furniture is highly sought after for its balanced proportions, delicate ornamentation, and the way it harmoniously blends functionality with aesthetic appeal, making pieces like this bench treasured additions to any collection. less
