  • Victorian Period - The Victorian period of furniture and decorative arts design covers the reign of Queen Victoria from 1837 to 1901. There was not one dominant style of furniture in the Victorian period. 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.

    The Victorian period was preceded by the Regency and William IV periods, and followed by the Edwardian period, named for Edward VII (1841 ? 1910) who was King of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions and Emperor of India for the brief period from 1901 until his death in 1910.
  • Hellenistic - The Hellenistic period is a period in ancient Greek history

    that began after the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BCE and lasted until

    the Roman conquest of Greece in 146 BCE. It is named after the Greek word

    "Hellenistic," which means "to imitate Greeks."



    During the Hellenistic period, the Greek world expanded

    beyond the boundaries of Greece and encompassed the territories conquered by

    Alexander the Great, including Egypt, Persia, and parts of India. The period

    was marked by a fusion of Greek culture with the cultures of these conquered

    territories, resulting in a diverse and cosmopolitan society.



    The art and architecture of the Hellenistic period were

    marked by a new sense of realism and individuality. Artists and architects

    experimented with new techniques and styles, and the incorporation of new

    materials such as bronze and glass. A number of the best-known works of Greek sculpture belong to this period, including Laocoon and his Sons, Venus de Milo, and the Winged Victory of Samothrace.
