Georgian refers to the artistic, architectural and decorative style that flourished in Britain between 1714 and 1837 during the reigns of Kings George I, II, III and IV. Influenced by Classical antiquity and Palladian design, the Georgian style is characterised by symmetry, elegant proportions, restrained ornament and exceptional craftsmanship. Georgian furniture, lighting, architecture and decorative arts remain among the most sought-after antiques for collectors and interior designers.
