Comparing the chests in the two design books we notice similar use of straight,
concave and convex shapes, but in the Hepplewhite boxes the rococo ormolu
mounts are replaced with neo classical style inlays. The look is more restrained.
The decoration on the three Hepplewhite caddies is also in the neo classical
Adam style and mirrors many of the motifs, which were currently in use. Paterae,
stylised flowers, festoons of flora, urns. |
