    LATE GEORGIAN

    PERIOD

    LATE GEORGIAN PERIOD

    ENGLISH NEO-CLASSIC (1760-1810)


    Late Georgian Architecture dominated
    the scene during the early to mid 1800s.
    The characteristics lie within symmetry
    and simplicity.
    The late Georgian period of interior
    design was one of the first periods of
    design that was influenced by antiques.

    The late Georgian period of interiors


    was refined, symmetrical, balanced and
    sophisticated. It was a time of
    wonderfully crafted furnishings and
    worldly accessories.

    It was a time of wonderfully crafted


    furnishings and worldly accessories

    Rooms were grand in appearance, but


    not necessarily large in size and were, I
    guess you would say, moderately
    formal.

    Colors were vivid yet pleasant and lively


    and plaster replaced wood for moldings,
    with dados over patterned fabrics or
    scenic wallpapers.

    Moldings and plasterwork were normally


    white and the ceilings were the same.

    Doors

    Doors were paneled


    and could even
    have a curve to
    them if the room
    was circular in
    nature.

    Windows

    The windows were tall with


    large rectangular panes,
    although bay windows came
    about during this period as
    well.
    Windows were covered
    either in a heavier drapery
    fabric with sheers
    underneath and may have
    had a cornice or lambrequin
    topping them. This is also
    the time when roller blinds
    came about.

    Fabrics
    The fabrics of the time
    were lighter than in the
    past and the method of
    wood-blocking or
    copper-plate printing of
    designs onto the fabrics
    came about.
    All the fabrics in a room
    now coordinated and
    chintzes, silks and
    damasks were popular.

    Flooring

    Flooring of the time


    was either marble,
    stone or polished
    oak and covered
    with area carpets.

    Lighting

    Candelabras and
    chandeliers of
    crystal, brass or
    bronze were used
    not only for lighting,
    but as decorative
    items.

    Famous Designers

    ROBERT ADAM

    THOMAS SHERATON

    GEORGE HEPPLEWHITE

    ROBERT ADAM

    The Designer who designs everything!


    Introduces the idea of CONTINUITY OF
    DESIGN, in which everything are
    coordinated to present a unified whole.
    Also introduces the idea of carrying one
    or more elements or motifs throughout
    the design.

    GEORGE HEPPLEWHITE

    George Hepplewhites furniture tends to


    backs that are ovals, hearts, camel, wheel,
    squares and shields with tapered
    legs(round or square) often fluted or
    treated with compound classic forms.
    Smaller in scale and proportion then earlier
    styles., with emphasis on grace and
    elegance. Motifs are often mixed.

    THOMAS SHERATON

    Thomas Sheraton furniture tends to be


    rectilinear with highly innovative splat
    backs emphasizing geometric pattern and
    straight lines.
    BOTH display an infinite variety of inlayed
    design, mixed classical motifs and strong
    emphasis on negative space.
