 GEORGIAN FURNITURE STYLES 17TH TO EARLY 18TH CENTURY

Georgian furniture was first originated when George I, George II, and George III ruled Great Britain. The thing that makes this furniture so unique is because it replaced walnut by mahongany. The legs of this type of furniture are carved in a pad or ball- and- claw foot. Common items included side tables with marble tops, chairs peaked with shells and legs graced with fish-scaled scrolls. Some important designers for this style are Chippendale and Adam. This type of furniture was originated and most popular during the 17th to early 18th century.
