HEPPLEWHITE - Style named for cabinetmaker George Hepplewhite, whose
furniture drawings were published after his death in 1786. They exemplified the
Adam and neoclassical
styles, but had slimmer, lighter lines and less angular shapes. Hepplewhite
often used the Prince of Wales's feathers motif on chair backs.
HIGHBOY - Tall chest of drawers, usually consisting of two sections.
An upper chest sits on either a tablelike structure or a lowboy with long legs.
(See
chest-on-chest).
