Default help me find info on "smallbone" English style casework

While there is a website under the name of smallbone, they have a wide
variety of styles of which some may have aspects of "smallbone" but
they don't specify which aspects of which jobs are that style. I'm
trying to get a little more specific than a company named "smallbone".

Smallbone is Smallbone, it is a company (and before that a bloke) and not a
traditional term. If someone said to me Smallbone style I would assume they
were talking about hand painted kitchen cabinets. Smallbone made their
business in the 80s making traditional joinery for kitchens as in the
'Original' styles on the website. They were the originators of that fish
fretwork freize thing which was widely copied for a while.
