Edwardian refers to the period during the reign of King Edward VII (1901--1910) and the years immediately following. The style is characterised by elegance, lighter proportions and refined craftsmanship, reflecting a move away from the heavier decoration of the Victorian era. Edwardian furniture, lighting and decorative arts frequently feature satinwood, mahogany, inlay and graceful Neo-Classical influences. *Related Terms*\ Edwardian Architecture, Edwardian Furniture, Edwardian Lighting, Neo-Classical, Sheraton Revival.
