Thomas Sheraton (1751 – 22 October 1806)[1] was a furniture designer, one of the "big three" English furniture makers of the 18th century, along with Thomas Chippendale and George Hepplewhite.[2] Sheraton gave his name to a style of furniture characterized by a feminine refinement of late Georgian styles[1] and became the most powerful source of inspiration behind the furniture of the late 18th century.
