A late 18th century c.1780s, Hepplewhite server, from the estate of an early Detroit industrialist (the portrait in the previous lot is from the same family). This exceptional piece of furniture features an old shellac finish, inlaid medallions, period brass hardware, and blacksmith forged nails in its construction. Note: the case is signed on the back, likely by the original maker, but also possibly one of the original owners (see images). 
HEPPLEWHITE BIOGRAPHY/HISTORY: George Hepplewhite (b.1727 - d.1786) is regarded as one of the big three English furniture makers of the 18th century (with Thomas Sheraton and Thomas Chippendale). He gave his name to a distinctive style of elegant furniture that was most fashionable from c.1775 to c.1800. Hepplewhite's style is easily identifiable, his designs were slender, linear, well balanced, and featured a straight (often tapered) leg. He was a member of the London Society of Cabinetmakers. After his death in 1786, his widow published a book featuring 300 of his designs, The Cabinet Maker and Upholsterers Guide. It was only after the publication of the book of his designs, that he received the well deserved recognition as one of the worlds premiere furniture designers and cabinetmakers.
