Hepplewhite, George ( ? -1786), was an English furniture maker and designer. No known examples of his furniture exist. Hepplewhite's reputation rests mainly on his book of furniture designs, The Cabinet-Maker and Upholsterer's Guide (published in 1788, after his death). It has engravings of nearly 300 designs that Hepplewhite and others made popular between about 1770 and 1790. Furniture based on these designs is called Hepplewhite.
