How to Identify Hepplewhite Style Furniture

Ever walk into an antique shop and wonder what the different styles of furniture represent?  There are so many beautiful styles of furniture.  Part of the fun when antiquing is identifying the styles.  Hepplewhite furniture is just one of the many unique and beautiful styles of furniture available.

About.com gives the following description and history of Hepplewhite furniture:  http://antiques.about.com/od/furniture/a/Hepplewhite120109.htm

Who is this artist/painter?

Last weekend I enjoyed 4 days at the beach along with quite a bit of antiquing for inventory purposes.  While shopping around,  I came across this beautiful oil on canvas painting.  I actually won this at a bazaar through a silent auction.  I have been researching the artist's name "G.Broliers" (see second picture).  So far, I am unable to locate the artist but I will keep on researching just in case this is one of those pieces that belong on the Antique Roadshow!

What interesting pieces have you found while antiquing?


Check out the cool landmark I used to locate one of the shops!
