Sheraton, Thomas

Thomas Sheraton was born in the North of England where he was apprenticed as a cabinet maker, but moved to London in 1790 where he became better known as a teacher of architecture, and cabinet design.

It is believed that Sheraton himself never made any of the pieces shown in the successful books he published. Many of Sheraton's designs are based on classical architecture, and his name is associated with styles of furniture fashionable at the very end of the 17th Century and early 1800s. He died in 1806.
