Definition von georgian style im Englisch Englisch wörterbuch

Architecture, interior design, and decorative arts of Britain during the reigns (1714-1830) of the first four Georges. It encompassed Palladianism (see Andrea Palladio), turned to an austere Neoclassicism, moved on to Gothic Revival, and ended with the Regency style. The era is said to mark the summit of house design in Britain. Its legacy can be seen in the city squares of uniform, symmetrical brick London townhouses, their facades employing Classical pilasters, pedimented doors and windows, and graceful moldings. Their interiors, often furnished with Chippendale and Sheraton pieces, were characterized by harmonious proportions, quiet colors, and Roman-derived stucco ornamentation
