History of Neoclassical Architecture & Furniture:

Furniture design during the 18^th and early 19^th century was heavily inspired by Greek architecture and became one of the most prominent architectural styles in the Western world and this was reflected in the design of furniture during this period.  The prevailing styles of architecture in most of Europe for the previous two centuries, Renaissance architecture and Baroque architecture, already represented partial revivals of the Classical architecture of ancient Rome and ancient Greek architecture, but the Neoclassical movement aimed to strip away the excesses of Late Baroque and return to a purer, more complete, and more authentic classical style, adapted to modern purposes.
