MORRIS
SHEPPARD DESIGNS
IN THE
STYLE OF
GREENE AND
GREENE
With these
pieces, we introduce furnishings that are historically and stylistically
accurate to the creations of Charles and Henry Greene, yet fully functional for
comtemporary use. The perfect proportions, charm, and attention to detail
of a bygone era have been reborn for modern living. Sheppard's
recreations are shown in the following selected works:
