Though they may appear to be similar, each style has specific elements that are easy to identify and remember. However, is it also correct to simply refer to the designs as "George III."

Robert Adam Neo-Classical Furniture Style

Robert Adam was an English architect and designer. He was influenced by English Palladian architecture and classical antiquities from the 1738 excavations at Pompeii and Herculaneum. Adam was not a cabinet maker and his designs, in vogue from 1762 to 1792, were built by contemporary furniture makers, including Thomas Chippendale.

Elements of Adam English Neo-Classic Style Furniture

Adam’s early designs included square, somewhat heavy architectural pieces, decorated with applied carved wooden classical motifs, such as urns and acanthus leaves. As his work progressed, metal and plaster replaced wood for carved and moulded ornamentation. It was lighter and often gilded or painted white. Case furniture was rectangular, often with a baluster leg. Adam’s mature work included tables of semi-circular design with tapering legs, medallions and pastel colours. By the end of his career, Adam’s techniques and designs were widely copied while his own creativity declined.
