Traditional Style
Traditional styles are
17th and 18th century interpretations of the design and
architecture of ancient Greece and Rome. Displaying restraint,
harmony, proportion and reason, the grand Greco-Roman
style uses sparse ornamentation, chaining, beaded moldings,
and large turned posts. Using hardwoods, such as cherry
and oak, Traditional furniture represented the art of
rich ancient cultures that flourished long before the
Dark Ages, and were the basis of pre-industrial European
style.
