GEORGIAN-ANNE

The development of this style starts with the reign of Queen Anne of England in 1660 which first followed the influence of Louis XIV palace at 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 will 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.
