GEORGIAN

Georgian is a period of English architecture, furniture making, and decorative art between 1714 and 1830. The architecture is mainly Classical in style, although external details and interiors were often rich in Rococo carving. Furniture at this time was often made of mahogany and satinwood, and mass production became increasingly common; designers included Thomas Chippendale, George Hepplewhite, and Thomas Sheraton. The silver of this period is particularly fine, and ranges from the earlier, simple forms to the ornate, and from the Neo-Classical style of Robert Adam to the later, more decorated pre-Victorian taste. Georgian architecture features columns inspired by Classical designs, and using the Doric Order, Ionic Order and Corinthian Order. Front doors are typically panelled, large, with columns or decorations either side and a semi-circular window above. Windows were typically sash windows, tall and well proportioned, with wooden glazing bars and equal sized glass panes.
