Edwardian Period (1900 - 1910)The Edwardian era saw the beginning of a new century with a new king and a new style of interior design.The heavy, dark, cluttered look of the Victorian era was gone, and in its place, something much lighter and more cheerful.Some of the most famous designer for this era include:Thomas Sheraton -furnitureLouis Comfort Tiffany- lightingRenéLalique- glasswareEdwardian StyleThis early20thcentury style had an eclectic feel to it, and drew from elements of Georgian, Medieval and Tudor style. Light, airy, and simplicity of detail were key principles of this era.Flame Mahogany
Thomas Sheraton-18thcentury furniture designer, once characterized mahogany as "best suited to furniture where strength is demanded as well as a wood that works up easily, has a beautiful figure and polishes so well that it is an ornament to any room in which it may be placed." Matching his words to his work, Sheraton designed much mahogany furniture. The qualities that impressed Sheraton are particularly evident in a distinctive pattern of wood called "flame mahogany."The flame figure in the wood is revealed by slicing through the face of the branch at the point where it joins another element of the tree.
