George I style furniture

1714 - 1727

George I, born in 1660, was king of Great Britain and Ireland from 1714 until his death in 1727.
Much of the fine George I furniture was made of walnut and also veneered with walnut (veneering: covering with thin layers)
The serpentine curves, the cabriole leg of rounded section and the claw-and-ball-foot were all features of George I period chairs in England.
