Georgian style
Eighteenth-century British architecture
Georgian style refers to the architectural and decorative arts that flourished in Britain and its colonies during the reigns of the four King Georges (1714–1830).
The style emphasizes symmetry, classical proportions, and restrained ornamentation: a Georgian townhouse with its characteristic sash windows and fanlight doorway.
Georgian buildings typically feature brick facades, columned porticos, and balanced window arrangements.
The term extends to furniture, silverware, and interior design of the period, marked by elegance and formal order.
