Cabinet-Maker, Upholsterer and General Artist’s Encyclopaedia

The Cabinet-Maker, Upholsterer and General Artist’s Encyclopaedia was the final project of Thomas Sheraton, an English cabinetmaker and a leading figure in Neoclassical furniture design. Only one volume of this work, covering A to C, was published in 1805, the year before his death. Sheraton, who also authored The Cabinet-Maker and Upholsterers’ Drawing Book, was known for his elegant furniture designs that significantly influenced English and American styles in the late 18th century. While his name is associated with a distinct style, it's important to note that many pieces are labeled as "Sheraton" due to his influence rather than direct manufacture. His work, alongside that of George Hepplewhite, provided inspiration for prominent American cabinetmakers.12
