The magic of an 18th-century Roentgens writing desk or cabinet isn't merely skin deep. This isn't just cabinetry—it's theater.
In my last post, we looked at an overview of Georgian furniture from the reign of George I in the first quarter to the reign of George II around mid-century and ending with the reign of George III, beginning in 1760. Now let's look at each of these three Georgian "mini-periods" separately: Early Georgian (George I, 1714-1727)-architectural in style, heavier and symmetrical, more in the Baroque taste): Mid Georgian (George II, 1727-1760)-lighter and more curvy, more in the Rococo taste but also more subdued than French or Italian Rococo; mahogany replaces walnut as the wood of choice: Late Georgian (George III, 1760-until Regency 1820)-designs are in the Neoclassical taste: Now forget everything we've learned about Georgian I, II and III furniture because in my next post down we're going to talk about the red herring (mmmm. I love herring) of Georgian 18th century English furniture, the style known as Palladian.

About Dutch mobile for the American market, Empire period, we are faced with the great Dutch market that adapted its furniture for every nation that requested it, styling in the best way for the taste and fashion of each nation. We have an example with some furniture for the English, German and American market. This bears the lines of the most severe furniture in the forms of those usually used for the European domestic market (they used the Rococo style more). In mahogany and inlaid in fruity woods. Empire period, early nineteenth century. In good condition but to be restored.
Satinwood also known as yellow wood, was one of the most beautiful and highly valued woods used in the latter part of the 18th century. First imported from the East Indies, by the mid 1770's it's popularity soared because of it's beautiful graining. Also satinwood had become increasingly abundant, and it's durability and exquisite finish resulted in it's immense popularity among society's wealthiest homeowners. The elegance of satinwood soon helped trigger a resurgence of neo-classical taste in furniture-making. Painted furniture was very much in vogue at the time and satinwood was the perfect canvas. Small painted tables, chairs, and cabinets were in demand and cabinet makers like Hepplewhite and Sheraton were closely associated with using satinwood. The light tones of satinwood worked beautifully as a ground for marquetry, however taste for painted satinwood furniture grew, and since painted decoration does not fade, it proved to be a more cost effective method of decoration than marquetry. The most sought after furniture painters of the day, Kauffman, Cipriani, and Pergolesi were employed by Hepplewhite, Sheraton, and the Adams Brothers to help create this beautiful furniture which I hope to introduce you to through this blog post.

With a classic backrest design, the chair has solid wood knuckles to assist you getting in and out of the chair safely.

Designers used and modified many historical styles such as Gothic, Tudor, Elizabethan, English Rococo, Neoclassical and others, although use of some styles, such as English Rococo and Gothic tended to dominate the furniture manufacture of the period.
