| Thomas Sheraton and his contemporaries were the last to design furniture before the influence of "modern" machinery. A true cabinetmaker, Sheraton favored clean, perpendicular lines and sound construction methods. He avoided
frivolous ornamentation and knew no "modern" shortcuts. Today, his no-fuss designs are still known worldwide for their purity and geometric grace. Seely's interpretation of Sheraton features long, solid posts that continue from top to floor,
floating side panels, flush-fitting drawers and mortise-and-tenon construction. |
