About the author
A. E. (Alfred Edward) Reveirs-Hopkins was a writer on the history of English furniture. Library and archive records identify him as born in 1863, and his surviving books show a strong interest in decorative arts, especially the development of British furniture styles.
He is most closely associated with The Sheraton Period: Post-Chippendale Designers, 1760–1820 and with the Little Books About Old Furniture series, written with J. P. Blake. Those books guide readers through major periods of English furniture design, including Tudor, Stuart, Queen Anne, and later Georgian tastes.
Although biographical details about his life are limited in the sources I could confirm, his books remain useful as compact introductions to antique furniture and historical interior style. They reflect an era when design history was being presented not just for specialists, but for curious everyday readers as well.
