FERSA Decorative Hardware Since 1941

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.
