Adam style
Delicate classical revival
Adam style refers to the neoclassical design aesthetic developed by Scottish architect Robert Adam in the late 18th century.
It features delicate ornamentation, classical motifs like urns and swags, and pastel color palettes.
The style influenced architecture, furniture, and interior decoration across Britain and America: The mantelpiece was pure Adam style, all graceful symmetry and medallions.
