The development of this style starts with the
reign of Queen Anne of England in 1660 which first followed
the influence of Louis the XIV palace of Versailles.
Queen Anne´s reign followed by the reign
of Georges I created the transition from Baroque times into
the English Renaissance era. Around 1758 still under the reign
of Georges I, Architect Robert Adam introduced a new style
that would change the history of English architecture and interior
design.
During the Georgian-Queen Anne period we can
find an eclectic mix of elements utilized, from garlands to
flowers represented in quite a bold way this period borrowed
inspiration from Europe and the English colonies in the
Orient.
The pieces are less flamboyant than their French
neighbors of the time and portray a well-achieved sense of
overall scale and proportion.
