COPELAND, HENRY

This article appears in Volume V07, Page 96 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: COM-COR
COPELAND, HENRY , an 18th century English cabinet-maker and furniture designer. He appears to have been the first manufacturing cabinet-maker who published designs for furniture. A New Book of Ornaments appeared in 1746, but it is not clear whether the engravings with this title formed part of a book, or were issued only in
separate
  plates; a few of the latter are all that are known to exist. Between 1752 and 1769 several collections of designs were produced by
Copeland
  in conjunction with
Matthias
  Lock; in one of them
Copeland
  is described as of Cheapside. Some of the
original
  drawings are in the National Art library at the Victoria and Albert Museum. Copeland was probably the originator of a peculiar type of chair-back, popular for a few years in the middle of the 18th century, consisting of a
series
  of interlaced circles. Much of his
work
  has been attributed to
Thomas
  Chippendale, and it is certain that one derived many ideas from the other, but which was the originator and which the copyist is by no means clear. The
dates
  of Copeland's
birth
  and death are unknown, but he was still living in 1768.
