Sheraton

 Time period: 1751 - 1806
==== Thomas Sheraton worked in Stockton-on-Tees with a local cabinet maker until he moved to London in 1790. There he was teaching perspective, architecture, and cabinet design for craftsmen. ==== 

====Sheraton made use of fine carving in low relief, but inlay was his specialty. His later work was often painted, gilded, and otherwise decorated. It included carved satinwood picked out with gilt, and cameo panels with gorgeously coloured wreaths, cornucopias, musical instruments, etc., were much used. He also inserted Wedgwood medallions. ====  ====He continued the use of mahogany wood, but employed satinwood quite as extensively. He also used sycamore, tulip-wood, apple wood, rosewood, kingwood, harewood (sycamore stained pale brown), white-wood dyed apple green, and other materials, especially on his smaller pieces. He used them as a painter uses pigments; never were woods combined with such consummate skill. ====
