This item is performed in the Georgian Queen Anne style (ca. 1702 - 1714).

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.
